disorderly guidance
Etymology
'chaotically-directed' originates from the Greek word 'khaos,' meaning 'abyss' or 'void,' combined with the Latin 'directus,' meaning 'straight' or 'guided.'
'Khaos' transformed into the English word 'chaos,' and 'directus' became 'directed' in English, eventually forming the compound adjective 'chaotically-directed.'
Initially, 'chaos' meant 'void' or 'abyss,' but over time it evolved to mean 'disorder,' which is reflected in the modern usage of 'chaotically-directed.'
