Fortuitous में Fortune देखिए: जो Fortune पर निर्भर हो, planning पर नहीं। संयोग से हुआ और फ़ायदा दे गया — वही Fortuitous।

See FORTUNE in FORTUITOUS: something that depends on fortune, not on planning. It happens by chance and turns out to your advantage.

Its core idea is 'by chance'; learn it with fluke and serendipity. Deliberate and planned are its antonyms.
