Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'contingentia', meaning 'happening by chance', from the verb 'contingere' (to touch, happen, befall). By the 17th century, the term evolved in English to denote an event that is possible but uncertain, eventually broadening into a provision for unforeseen circumstances.
