Summary

Adventure (pronounced ad-ven-cher) was originally a Middle English word derived from the Old French aventure meaning “destiny,” “fate,” or “chance event.”

A remarkable or unexpected journey, experience, or event that a person participates in as a result of chance.

This last detail, a result of chance, is a key element of adventure;

the stories usually involve a character who is brought to the adventure by chance, and chance usually plays a large role in the episodes of the story.

Adventures usually includes dangerous situations, narrow escapes, problems to be solved through intelligence and skill, exotic people and places, and brave deeds.
