How ADVENTITIOUS is your life?

ADVENTITIOUS (adjective) = happening or carried on according to chance rather than by design

The word originates from the Latin adventicius, meaning "coming from outside" or "foreign."

"During the annual town pie-eating contest, Gerald's victory was entirely adventitious—he hadn't intended to compete at all. In fact, he had only wandered into the event looking for directions to the library. But after being mistaken for a contestant and handed a bib, he figured, "Why not?" Five blueberry pies later, Gerald was hoisted onto the crowd's shoulders, still chewing and utterly bewildered by his newfound, accidental fame." --Chat GPT
