Many of the Spanish words also start with “Ser”
Example.

serendipity - serendipia
One of the most significant discoveries in the field of science occurred out of sheer serendipity.
Uno de los descubrimientos más significativos en el campo de la ciencia han ocurrido por pura serendipia.
Interesting fact about this discovery:
Probably the most famous serendipitous event reported in science is the 1928 discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming, but he also discovered the antibacterial enzyme lysozyme which is present in our mucus, saliva and tears.
Fleming's discovery of penicillin began when he was investigating a group of petri dishes on his messy workbench. They contained colonies of a bacterium called Staphylococcus which Fleming had deliberately placed in the dishes. He found that one of the dishes had become contaminated by a mold (a type of fungus), and he noticed that there was a clear area around the mold. Instead of cleaning or discarding the petri dish and ignoring the contamination as a "mistake", he decided to investigate why the clear area had appeared. Eventually he discovered that the mold, which was a species of Penicillium, was making an antibiotic that killed the bacteria around it. Fleming named the antibiotic penicillin. It eventually became an extremely important medicine for fighting infections.
Flemming's reportedly discovered lysozyme after he sneezed - or dropped nasal mucus - on a petri dish full of bacteria. He noticed that some of the bacteria died where the mucus had contaminated the petri dish and later discovered that the mucus contained lysozyme, which was responsible for the destruction of the bacteria.
