Nota
Charged with the metaphysical implications of being dealt luck and fortune or their opposites, this verb and its accompanying noun have a semantic resonance brilliantly exploited by the Roosevelt administration with its economic rescue programme the 'New Deal' following the 1929 stock-market collapse. The power of the word still holds, despite its abuse by advertisers.
