/keɪˈɒtɪkli əˈsɛmbəld/
disorganized assembly
Etymology
'chaotically' originates from 'chaos,' which comes from the Greek word 'khaos,' meaning 'abyss' or 'void.' 'Assemble' comes from the Latin 'assemblare,' meaning 'to bring together.'
'chaos' evolved from the Greek 'khaos' to the Latin 'chaos,' and eventually became the modern English word 'chaos.' 'Assemble' transformed from the Latin 'assemblare' to the Old French 'assembler,' and eventually became the modern English word 'assemble.'
Initially, 'chaos' meant 'void' or 'abyss,' but over time it evolved to mean 'complete disorder.' 'Assemble' has largely retained its original meaning of 'bringing together.'
