Etymology

Malchance is a 17th‑century French compound formed from the prefix **mal‑** “bad” (from Latin *malus*) and the noun **chance** “luck, opportunity” (from Old French *chansié/chanté*, derived from Latin *casus* “fall, chance”). The word entered modern French in the early 1600s and has retained its meaning of “bad luck” without further significant semantic shifts.
