fortunateness

/ˈfɔɹtʃənətnəs/ noun

The quality of being fortunate; fortuity; fortune; luck.

Word Origin From Latin fors 'chance, luck' — fortune is what chance brings you. Fortunate means 'brought by luck,' and fortunateness is the state of being lucky. The root fors is related to the verb ferre 'to carry,' so fortune is literally 'that which is brought.' The same root gives us fortuitous (by chance) and perhaps even bear (to carry). The PIE root *bher- 'to carry' is also in transfer, offer, and differ.
