I can't go into great detail but i know that when it was invented by Alexander Flemming in 1928 it was entirely by chance. He left his lab window open and found a mould had grown in the petri dish by the window which turned out to be naturally occurring penecillin. So i presume it's called a happy accident because something good came out of a mistake made by whoever was responsible for not closing the windows!
