resolved by chance
Etymology
'coincidentally-fixed' originates from the combination of 'coincidentally' and 'fixed'. 'Coincidentally' comes from 'coincidence', which originates from Latin 'coincidentia', meaning 'a falling together'. 'Fixed' comes from Latin 'fixus', meaning 'fastened'.
'Coincidentally' evolved from the Latin 'coincidentia' through Old French 'coincidence', and 'fixed' evolved from Latin 'fixus' through Old French 'fixer'.
Initially, 'coincidentally' meant 'happening at the same time', and 'fixed' meant 'fastened'. Together, they evolved to describe something resolved by chance.
