disorderly divided
Etymology
'chaotically-split' originates from the word 'chaotic,' which comes from the Greek word 'khaos,' meaning 'abyss' or 'void.' The suffix '-ally' is used to form adverbs, and 'split' is derived from the Middle English word 'spliten,' meaning 'to divide.'
'chaotic' changed from the Greek word 'khaos' to the modern English word 'chaotic,' and 'split' evolved from the Middle English 'spliten' to its current form.
Initially, 'chaotic' meant 'void' or 'abyss,' but over time it evolved to mean 'disorderly' or 'confused.' 'Split' has largely retained its meaning of 'to divide.'
