Where this word comes from
tila (“space, state”) + -inen + -uus. First attested in 1770 in the sense “state of affairs”, then in 1787 with the sense “situation”; of the current senses, “opportunity, chance” is attested since 1817, while “occasion, event, function” only became established in the early 20th century. The intermediate adjective tilainen is not directly attested, only -tilainen in e.g. archaic vähätilainen (“tight, cramped, with little space”).
