'fortuitously' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'fortuitus,' where 'forte' meant 'by chance.' 'Resolved' comes from Latin 'resolvere,' where 're-' meant 'again' and 'solvere' meant 'to loosen or solve.'

'fortuitus' transformed into the French word 'fortuit,' and eventually became the modern English word 'fortuitous.' 'Resolvere' transformed into the Old French word 'resolver,' and eventually became the modern English word 'resolve.'

Initially, 'fortuitous' meant 'happening by chance,' and 'resolve' meant 'to solve or settle.' The combined term 'fortuitously-resolved' retains these meanings, indicating a resolution by chance.
