fortuitousness
Pure chance occurrence
Fortuitousness is the quality of happening by chance or accident rather than design.
The word emphasizes randomness without implying whether the outcome is good or bad: The fortuitousness of their meeting at the airport surprised them both.
Often confused with fortunateness, which implies luck or favorable outcome, fortuitousness is neutral—events can be fortuitous without being fortunate.
