'chaotically-gathered' originates from the combination of 'chaotic' and 'gathered'. 'Chaotic' comes from the Greek word 'khaos', meaning 'abyss' or 'void', and 'gathered' is derived from the Old English 'gadrian', meaning 'to bring together'.

'chaotic' evolved from the Greek 'khaos' through Latin 'chaoticus', and 'gathered' transformed from Old English 'gadrian' to the modern English 'gather'.

Initially, 'chaotic' meant 'void' or 'abyss', but over time it evolved to mean 'disorderly'. 'Gathered' has largely retained its original meaning of 'bringing together'.
