Where this word comes from
From *fortu- (“chance, luck, fortune”) + -ītus (suffix forming adjectives). *Fortu- is derived from an unattested u-stem action noun *fortus built on the root of fors (“chance, luck”) (from Proto-Indo-European *bʰer-) + -tus (suffix forming action nouns); an u-stem formation also seems to be behind fortūna (“fortune, luck, destiny”). Compare the formation of grātuītus.
