My particularly cheap definition of eucatastrophe is "good that has come out of disaster (catastrophe)."
Etymologically (because it is a Tolkien site and all), catastrophe is of course the word for disaster (coming from greek katastrophe) and it's prefix eu means something good (greek too, I think).
