Origin
The Latin word "accidere" was originally used in a legal sense to refer to an unforeseen event that affects the validity of a contract. Over time, the word's meaning expanded to include any unplanned or unintended occurrence.
By the 15th century, the English word "accidentaly" was being used to describe events that happened randomly or by chance. The word gradually evolved to its current meaning, which encompasses both unintended actions and unexpected outcomes.
