Etymology
'haphazardly-judged' originates from the combination of 'haphazardly' and 'judged'. 'Haphazardly' comes from 'haphazard', which originates from Middle English 'hap' meaning 'chance' and 'hazard' meaning 'risk'. 'Judged' is the past participle of 'judge', which comes from Old French 'jugier', from Latin 'judicare'.
'Haphazardly' evolved from 'hap' and 'hazard', while 'judged' evolved from Old French 'jugier'. The combination of these words formed the modern term 'haphazardly-judged'.
Initially, 'haphazardly' meant 'by chance', and 'judged' meant 'to form an opinion'. Together, they evolved to mean 'evaluated in a random manner'.
