Happening by chance or accident; accidental or unplanned. (Latin or pseudo-Latin variant)
Direct from Latin 'fortuitus,' meaning 'happening by chance.' This appears to be either a Latin form or an archaic English variant of 'fortuitous' that never fully standardized.
This might be a spelling variant or Latin citation form you'd see in legal documents or old scientific texts—the kind of word that shows how English borrowed straight from Latin without always anglicizing it, especially in formal writing.
