Etymology
'hazardously' originates from 'hazard,' which comes from Old French 'hasard,' meaning 'game of chance,' and 'associated' comes from Latin 'associatus,' meaning 'joined with.'
'hazard' evolved from the Old French 'hasard' and 'associated' from the Latin 'associatus,' eventually forming the modern English term 'hazardously-associated.'
Initially, 'hazard' referred to a game of chance, but over time it evolved to mean 'risk or danger,' while 'associated' has maintained its meaning of 'connected or linked.'
