It is something that is made to happen in a story merely to explain something in the plot -- a contrivance is not logical or really believable. The best known plot contrivance is "and then they woke up and found that it had all been a dream."

A contrivance is something that happens by coincidence to solve something in your story. For example, your character is being mugged by a robber with a gun. Suddenly, a brick falls from the sky and knocks the robber out.The pitfalls of using this sort of solution are that your readers feel cheated and won't read your stories any more. Your story will be less interesting than it would have been if you'd shown the two characters standing by a construction site where you'd shown earlier that one of the workers had come to work drunk, and was now tossing bricks off the top of the building and laughing.
