IPA: /ˈhapən/, [ˈhapən], [ˈhapm̩] Audio: De-Happen.ogg

[Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: Adopted in the 18th century from German Low German, which may have borrowed it from Dutch. A Dutch verb happen (“to snap”) is attested from the 16th century on; all ultimately imitative of children's speech (Kindersprache). Compare also contemporary Dutch hap. It is unsettled whether there is any relation with Old French happer.
