Etymology
The word 'coincident' has its origins in the Latin word 'coincidentia', which means 'coincidence'. It entered the English language in the 18th century. The concept of events happening by chance at the same time has been of interest to philosophers and scientists throughout history, leading to discussions on determinism, causality, and randomness.
