What do you mean, after serendipity


Serendip is a place name, putting this -ity ending on it transformed it into an abstract noun meaning something like 'agreeable chance occurence'. So, they took another placename and converted it with the same suffix. Kinda like the -gate suffix came to mean 'scandal'. (The -gate in the original Watergate means 'gate'.


Ceci n'est pas un seing.
