I know this is not quite what Douglas asked for but I was inspired to do some research as to the etymology of the word and to share my findings with the wonderful community that is ESLprintables. After some exhausting research the following is what I found.

The Dipity family is well known throughout New England and it is said there might be the possibility that one might be able to trace their family back to the Mayflower.  The Dips as they became to be known were not the sharpest tools in the shed. It seemed that as the years went by the gene pool got shallower and shallower for the Dips. It wasn�t until the 1950�s that there seemed to be some sort of mutation somewhere along the branches of the Dipity family tree. Sarah exhibited brilliance never before witnessed in the Dipity household. Why by the age of 6 she was actually talking and walking although not necessarily at the same time. Before they knew it at the age of 23 Sarah graduated from high school. It is this accomplishment and truly unexpected event which surprised the family and the community that became known as a sarahdipity. Unfortunately, although Sarah had graduated from high school, she did not quite master spelling and so the word became serendipity to reflect Sarah�s pronunciation and spelling of her name.
