Fluke
The word is a noun referring to an unlikely chance occurrence, especially a surprising piece of luck.
Originally a term used in games such as billiards, it denotes a lucky stroke.
Origin
The word is said to have been around since the 12th Century. Its origin itself is not clear although it is possibly an English dialect word. One of the origin stories point to the Low German word flugel (meaning wing), though how this is exactly related to the context of “luck” does not seem to I have been established.
Usage
Her second and third awards proved that her first was not a fluke, as many had alleged.
