Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'ευτυχώς' meaning 'fortunately' derives from the ancient Greek 'εὐτυχῶς', which is the adverbial form of 'εὐτυχής' meaning 'fortunate'. The prefix 'εὐ-' means 'good' or 'well', and 'τύχη' means 'fortune' or 'luck'. Thus, 'ευτυχώς' literally means 'with good fortune'.
