Word of the day: Windfall

Windfall:
Algo muy bueno o maravilloso que ocurre repentinamente

Pronunciación: uínd fol

La palaba también tiene otros significados como por ejemplo:
cuando cae del árbol la fruta madura
 una ganancia inesperada.

Un ejemplo de uso:
There are a few power companies that have windfall profits because of the good numbers last year.

Reseña de la palabra:

En la época medieval la gran mayoría de las personas vivían con todo tipo de carencias y bajo el yugo de la férrea opresión de los señores feudales. El pueblo sobrevivía con lo mínimo por no decir sin recursos para afrontar las épocas sobre todo los duros y gélidos inviernos en Inglaterra.
Una de las cosas buenas y gratis de las que podían disfrutar sin limitaciones era el uso de los árboles que caían por las tormentas. Éstos se utilizaban para mejorar la subsistencia en general como el cobijo, leña, hacer muebles, etc., etc. Se tiene conocimiento del uso de la palabra desde entonces cuando la gente se beneficiaba de el Windfall, algo muy bueno o maravilloso que ocurre inesperadamente, como caído del cielo y que puede cambiar el rumbo de la vida.
