coincidence
A coincidence is a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances which have no apparent causal connection with each other.
The perception of remarkable coincidences may lead to supernatural, occult, or paranormal claims. Or it may lead to belief in fatalism, which is a doctrine that events will happen in the exact manner of a predetermined plan.
From a statistical perspective, coincidences are inevitable and often less remarkable than they may appear intuitively. An example is the birthday problem, which shows that the probability of two persons having the same birthday already exceeds 50% in a group of only 23 persons.
==Etymology==
The word is derived from the Latin ''cum-'' ("with", "together") and ''incidere'' (a composed verb from "''in''" and "''cadere''": "to fall on", "to happen").
