Word origin

The word 'chancing' has its origins in Middle English, derived from the Old French word 'chance' meaning 'fortune or luck'. Over time, the word evolved to encompass the concept of taking risks or opportunities without any guaranteed outcomes. The usage of 'chancing' in both noun and verb forms reflects the human inclination towards uncertainty and the thrill of risking something valuable for a potential reward.
