Success

Success comes from the Latin "succedere," literally "to follow after" or "come next" — its original sense was closer to "outcome" in general than to the positive meaning it has narrowed to in modern English. Its ordinal value of 89 reduces to Eight, a number tied to material achievement that lines up closely with the word's contemporary meaning, even though that specific positive connotation is a much later addition to a word that once described any result, good or bad.
