喜樂美語
  1. 1

    Happening alongside something bigger, as a small and less important part of it — not planned on its own, just connected to the main thing. You'll often see it with costs or details: incidental expenses are small extra costs on top of the main one; incidental music is the quiet background music in a film, not the main songs.
