coincidentally

/koʊˌɪnsɪˈdɛnəɫi/, /koʊˌɪnsɪˈdɛntəɫi/ adv

In a coincidental manner.

Word Origin Coincidentally comes from Latin coincidere, literally 'to fall upon together' — like two events falling on the same spot by chance. The root cadere 'to fall' also gives us accident (something that falls unexpectedly), incident (an event that falls upon us), and cadence (a falling rhythm). So coincidentally describes things that happen to fall together in time.
