Looks like
coincidence
coincidence = a surprising chance occurrence
⚠️ The trap
In a railway or flight context, 'coincidenza' means a connecting train/flight, not a strange coincidence. 'Ho perso la coincidenza' does NOT mean 'I missed a coincidence' — it means you missed your connecting transport.
To say "coincidence = a surprising chance occurrence" in Italian:
coincidenza (for both meanings)
"coincidenza" in English means:
connection (transport); also coincidence
Example
"Ho perso la coincidenza per Firenze."
"I missed my connection to Florence."
