(Ovid tells what happens when Ceres (mythology) visits a family living at a site later known as Eleusis. Although ‘‘fors’’ is sometimes translated as ‘‘destiny,’’ which may imply determination, Ovid's probable meaning is that of random chance; idiomatically, ‘‘good luck.’’)) [8 CE, Ovidius, Fasti 4.507]

Etymology
From Proto-Italic *fortis, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰértis (“the act of carrying”) (compare Old Irish brith, German Geburt, English bear, burden, Russian бремя (bremja, “burden”), брать (bratʹ, “to take”), Sanskrit भृति (bhṛti, “carrying”)), derivative of *bʰer-, whence also Latin ferō (“bring, carry”). For the semantic development, compare Proto-Germanic *buriz (“favorable wind”), from the same root. See: German Nouns '
Geburt', English Nouns '
bear', Russian Nouns '
бремя'.
