Gymnosperms are seed-bearing plants that don't  produce flowers, instead they have male and female reproductive  organs mostly in the form of cones. Their microsporophylls â¦ release pollen into the air to make available to the ovule,  in the megasporophylls causing fertilization.
2. Luck. The word luck is Middle Dutch in origin, coming from luc, a shortening of gheluc, âhappiness, good fortune.â. Luck may have been borrowed into English in the 15th century as a gambling term.
In some cases the Germanic origins of English words are not so obvious. The word dollar comes from German Thaler â which in turn is short for Joachimsthaler, derived from a sixteenth-century silver mine in Joachimsthal, Germany. Of course, English is a Germanic language to begin with.
