Hi guys, I wanted to check if there exists a word which means the phrase "against all odds". Can you please help me if we have a word for this in english language? if not in any other language?

"Unlikely" is not quite strong enough but "improbable" might do.

There are some options here, also.

Overwhelming evidence!

It might help if we had some context. Typically "against all odds" is used in a context that implies that there was success anyway. All these so-called synonyms leave out that aspect.

Ran welcome

Long shot, no way, far fetched, unimaginable, implausible

Probably you've already been there, but if not

I have read of people using the word "Talebian." It's a reference to the topic of a book by Nassim Taleb, "The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable."

edit:
On reflection, the suggested term "Talebian" is related, but it doesn't convey the meaning "against all odds."

You need an adverb.

If whatever occurred was really against ALL odds, it must have happened miraculously, no?

No.
