Etymology

The word 'chance' is derived from the Latin 'cadere,' meaning 'to fall.' It evolved through the Old French 'cheance,' which means 'fortune, luck, or accident.' The term started to be employed in English around the late 14th century, where it acquired the meaning of a possible outcome or a situation that occurs unpredictably. By the late 15th century, it had developed a broader usage to include both favorable and unfavorable occurrences. The verb form 'to chance' emerged, reflecting the concept of encountering or happening upon something fortuitously. The word 'chanced,' therefore, encapsulates the evolution of chance as a descriptor of luck, randomness, and occurrences beyond one's control.
