mishapn.

Brit.

/ˈmɪshap/, U.S.

/ˈmɪsˌ(h)æp/

Forms: see mis- prefix¹ and hap n.¹; also Middle English mishep, Middle English myschap (perhaps transmission error), 1500s mishhapp.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; perhaps modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: mis- prefix¹, hap n.¹

Etymology: < mis- prefix¹ + hap n.¹, perhaps after Anglo-Norman and Old French meschance (see mischance n.).Until the early 20th cent. dictionaries give only stress on the second syllable.
