Etymology
Prosperous comes from a Latin word that meant 'favourable' or 'lucky' and is in the same family as prosper and prosperity. Think of the small part pro- as 'for' or 'forward', so prosperous gives the picture of moving forward into success and wealth. That's why it now means 'successful' or 'wealthy'.
