the.com/incident
The word you use when 'disaster' is true but legal told you not to say it.
means An event or occurrence, often one that's unpleasant, disruptive, or noteworthy enough to require a response.
from From Latin incidens, 'falling upon' or 'happening,' from incidere (in- 'upon' + cadere 'to fall'). The same root that gives us 'cadence' and 'decay' — all tracing back to things falling. An incident is literally something that 'falls into' your day uninvited.
