Fortunate Perhaps!

Today's Word "fortuitous"

fortuitous \for-TOO-uh-tuhs; -TYOO-\ (adjective) - 1 : Happening by chance; coming or occurring by accident, or without any known cause. 2 : Happening by a fortunate or lucky chance. 3 : Fortunate or lucky.

"All agreed that the arrival of the off-duty emergency medical technicians just as Frank fell over from a heart attack was a fortuitous event."

Fortuitous comes from Latin fortuitus, "accidental," from fors, "chance, luck."
