Why this word is great
FORTUITY — [Noun] A chance occurrence or event, especially one that appears to be random or accidental. From the Latin fortuītus ("happening by chance, accidental") and the English suffix -ity (denoting a state or condition). Unlike serendipity, which insists on a fortunate discovery, or accident, which tilts toward the regrettable, fortuity is a neutral arbiter, the unadorned fact of happenstance. It is the coin found heads-up on the pavement, the unforecasted downpour that ruins a picnic, or the stranger's glance that meets yours just as the train departs—the universe, for a moment, exhaling without intent.
