fortunateness

State of luck

Fortunateness is the state or quality of being fortunate—having good luck or favorable circumstances.

It's a rarely used noun form that adds formality or abstraction to what could more simply be called good fortune or luck.

The fortunateness of their timing became clear only in hindsight.

The word appears occasionally in philosophical or literary contexts where a writer wants to emphasize fortune as a condition rather than an event.
