It can also imply divine favor or a sense of gratitude. It often conveys a sense of unexpected good fortune or relief from difficulty.
The word comes from "blessed," which has roots in the Old English word "blΔdsian," meaning "to consecrate, make holy, or give thanks." This is related to the Proto-Germanic word "blodison," meaning "to mark with blood" (in a ritualistic sense). Over time, "blessed" came to mean fortunate or happy. Adding "-edly" turns it into an adverb.
