Etymology
'haphazardly-designed' originates from the combination of 'haphazardly' and 'designed'. 'Haphazardly' comes from 'haphazard', which originates from the Middle English word 'hap', meaning 'chance', and 'hazard', meaning 'risk'.
'Haphazard' evolved from the Middle English 'hap' and 'hazard', and 'designed' comes from the Latin 'designare', meaning 'to mark out'.
Initially, 'haphazard' meant 'by chance', but over time it evolved to imply a lack of order or planning.
