Etymology
'haphazardly-segmented' originates from the combination of 'haphazardly' and 'segmented'. 'Haphazardly' comes from 'haphazard', which originates from the Middle English word 'hap', meaning 'chance', and 'hazard', meaning 'risk'. 'Segmented' comes from the Latin word 'segmentum', meaning 'a piece cut off'.
'Haphazardly' evolved from the Middle English 'hap' and 'hazard', while 'segmented' evolved from the Latin 'segmentum'.
Initially, 'haphazardly' meant 'by chance', and 'segmented' meant 'cut into pieces'. Together, they describe something divided without order.
