beneficial or favorable; happening by luck or accident
Explanation
Something serendipitous arrives or happens unexpectedly, but in a way that turns out well. Coined in the 18th century, the word comes from a fairy tale about princes who make fortunate discoveries by chance. Sometimes the best things in life are the ones you didn't see coming!
Example: Our serendipitous encounter at the café turned a boring afternoon into a great day.
