'haphazardly-connected' originates from the English word 'haphazard,' which comes from the Old French word 'hasard,' meaning 'game of chance.' The suffix '-ly' is used to form adverbs, and 'connected' is derived from the Latin 'connectere,' meaning 'to bind together.'

'haphazard' evolved from the Old French 'hasard' and was combined with the English suffix '-ly' to form 'haphazardly.' The word 'connected' comes from the Latin 'connectere,' which transformed into the Middle English 'connecten.'

Initially, 'haphazard' referred to a game of chance, but over time it evolved to describe something done randomly or without planning. 'Connected' has maintained its meaning of being linked or joined.
