What doe's serendipity mean?

Answer 1

Serendipity is the act of making a discovery by accident. The meaning of serendipity has expanded in modern usage to include generally fortunate accidents.

John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale starred in a movie called Serendipity, in which Beckinsale's character relied on fortunate accidents, treating them as a sign of what should be.

The term was coined by English author Horace Walpole in a letter of January 28, 1754 in which he wrote "this discovery, indeed, is almost of that kind which I call Serendipity, a very expressive word."

Not only is the term applied to the faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident, it is also used where a series of three, or "hat trick", is similarly an outcome.

A serendipitous result is one characterised by serendipity. Someone who has a habit of finding things by serendipity is a serendipper, while a person who acknowledges, believes, and hopes in serendipity is a serendipitist.

It is either the accidental discovery of something pleasant, valuable, or useful or a natural gift for making pleasant, valuable, or useful discoveries by accident.
