Today’s “Word of the Day” is “serendipity” and it is a noun meaning “an unexpected experience prompted by an individual’s valuable interaction with ideas, information, objects, or phenomena; put simply, it is the occurrence of unexpected and positive events and discoveries; happy chance, good luck, good fortune, fortuity”.
Example Sentence: “In both libraries and bookshops, the holy grail (an elusive thing) of online discovery is not search and retrieval of items the seeker already knows, but serendipity… they were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity (wisdom/insight), of things which they were not in quest of.’”
