Definitions
Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. One who has the gift of serendipity, or who finds things unsought, by mere ‘dipping.’

“The writer of the criticism is further to be congratulated on the coinage of the word 'serendipper,' which should be welcomed to our language and allowed the same rhetorical rank accorded to its verbal ancestor of Walpole extraction.”
