Etymology
The word 'hap' originates from the Old English 'hรฆppian', meaning to happen or come about. It is related to the Middle Dutch word 'happen', which shares a similar meaning. Historically, 'hap' has been used in various dialects across England, especially in Northern English. The usage of 'hap' has diminished in modern English, being largely confined to literary or stylized contexts. The past tense form 'happed' retains this older flavor of English, evoking a sense of time and circumstance in narratives. Over the years, as language evolved, 'hap' became less common, but it still carries a memory of the ways in which events could be seen as unfolding through chance or fate.
