manna

This term carries a strong sense of divine providence or miraculous timing. While it originates from a specific biblical event, in modern secular usage it describes any sudden stroke of luck or a resource that appears exactly when a situation seems hopeless. It suggests a feeling of relief and gratitude, often implying that the benefit was unearned or arrived by chance.

Grammatically, when referring to the biblical substance or the general concept of a windfall, the word is typically treated as an uncountable mass noun. It does not usually take a plural form in standard usage, as it represents a collective substance or an abstract quality of timeliness rather than individual countable units.
