Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Late Latin incidentem, meaning 'falling upon' or 'happening', from the verb incidere (in- 'upon' + cadere 'to fall'). Entering English in the late 15th century via Old French, the word initially denoted something that naturally falls out or occurs in connection with something else, before shifting to signify a distinct event or disturbance.
