WINDFALL
 
One of the most vexatious problems of the medieval English farmer was the shortage of fuel.  Not that trees were scarce; on the contrary, forests were thick and abundant. 
But a long-standing royal proclamation made it illegal for commoners to fell a tree without permission.   Only dead branches and trees blown down by a storm could be used for firewood. 
Consequently, discovery of a fallen tree was a stroke of great good luck.    Such a "windfall", as it was called, might actually mean the difference between having a warm blaze and going fireless on  cold days.  From trees felled by the wind, the expression came to be applied to any piece of good fortune. 
 
NOW YOU KNOW.
