Etymology
'haphazardly-put-together' originates from the combination of 'haphazardly' and 'put together', where 'haphazardly' comes from 'hap' meaning 'chance' and 'hazard' meaning 'risk'.
The phrase 'haphazardly-put-together' evolved from the individual words 'haphazardly' and 'put together', which were used separately in Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'assembled by chance or without planning', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
