Etymology
The term 'happing' originates from the Middle English word 'hap,' which means chance or fortune. It has its roots in the Old Norse word 'happ,' meaning good fortune or luck. Over time, the term evolved, particularly in Scots, where it took on additional informal meanings that relate to events occurring or unfolding. In this context, it reflects both the unpredictability of life and the casual recounting of daily occurrences. The use of 'happing' today can suggest light-heartedness and familiarity among speakers, creating a sense of community through shared experiences.
