randomly assessed
Etymology
'arbitrarily-evaluated' originates from the combination of 'arbitrary' and 'evaluate', where 'arbitrary' comes from Latin 'arbitrarius', meaning 'dependent on the will', and 'evaluate' from Latin 'evaluare', meaning 'to assess'.
'arbitrarily' changed from the Latin 'arbitrarius' to the English 'arbitrary', and 'evaluate' from 'evaluare' to the modern English 'evaluate'.
Initially, 'arbitrary' meant 'dependent on the will', but over time it evolved to mean 'based on random choice or personal whim'.
