It's curious that the word for "happy" in French and in Russian derives from that for "hour" (heure, час). This stems from medieval astrology, when it was believed that depending on the position of the planets at the hour of your birth your life would be happy or not.

Started off easy enough but I had to use some happyhazard guesswork later on.

@dancastro, I can't speak for Russian, but the French word comes not from "heure" but from "heur," an archaic word meaning luck preserved in the word "bonheur."
