Etymology
'chance-made' originates from the combination of 'chance' and 'made', where 'chance' meant 'luck or fortune' and 'made' is the past participle of 'make', meaning 'to create or form'.
'chance' evolved from the Old French word 'cheance', and 'made' is derived from the Old English 'macian', eventually forming the modern English term 'chance-made'.
Initially, 'chance' meant 'luck or fortune', and 'made' meant 'created'. Together, they evolved to describe something created by luck or without intention.
