Usage notes
The meaning happen, occur possibly arose from a misinterpretation of the word's use in the meaning become known, figuratively drawn from the original exude (vapour, etc.). Claiming it to be wrong and affected, certain critics discourage use in this sense. Meanwhile, it is traceable to the 18th and has been common since the 19th century.
