'Haphazardly' evolved from the Middle English 'hap' and 'hazard', while 'adjusted' evolved from the Latin 'adjuxtare'. The combination of these words into 'haphazardly-adjusted' is a modern English construct.
Initially, 'haphazardly' meant 'by chance', and 'adjusted' meant 'to bring near'. Over time, 'haphazardly-adjusted' evolved to mean 'adjusted in a random or disorganized manner'.
