'chaotically-modified' originates from the combination of 'chaotic' and 'modify'. 'Chaotic' comes from the Greek word 'khaos', meaning 'abyss' or 'void', and 'modify' comes from the Latin word 'modificare', meaning 'to measure' or 'to limit'.

'chaotic' evolved from the Greek 'khaos' through Latin 'chaoticus' and Old French 'chaotique', while 'modify' evolved from Latin 'modificare' through Old French 'modifier'.

Initially, 'chaotic' meant 'void' or 'abyss', but over time it evolved to mean 'disorderly'. 'Modify' has largely retained its meaning of 'to change or alter'.
