The term "unluckiness" is formed by combining the prefix "un-" meaning "not" or "lack of" and the noun "luckiness", which is derived from the noun "luck".
The word "luck" traces back to Middle Dutch "luc", which meant "happiness" or "good fortune". It further originated from the Old High German word "luc", meaning "happiness" or "success". The origin of the Old High German term potentially goes back to the Proto-Germanic word "lukaz", which referred to "happiness" or "fortune".
Thus, "unluckiness" can be interpreted as the absence or lack of luck or good fortune.
