Etymology
The word incidence comes from an old Latin word incidere, which meant 'to fall on' and is made of in- 'on' and cadere 'to fall'. It shares the same root as the common word accident, which also has the idea of something that 'falls' on you, so incidence means how often something happens in a group.
