coincidence  

Définition

  • A coincidence is a random co-occurrence of two or more events that are perceived to be meaningfully associated with each other, even though there is no meaningful causal relationship linking them. A collision between an ambulance carrying an injured bullfighter and a cattle truck would constitute a coincidence, while internal bleeding following ingestion of broken glass would not.
