التعريف

A possibility is something that may happen, may be true, or may exist. It can also mean one of the different choices or outcomes that could occur.

الاستخدام والفروق الدقيقة

Common patterns are 'there is a possibility that...', 'a strong/real/slight possibility', and 'leave open the possibility'. It is more formal than 'chance' in many contexts; 'chance' is more common in everyday speech. Don't confuse it with 'possible', which is the adjective.
