Etymology
'hazardously' originates from Middle English, specifically the word 'hasard,' where 'hasard' meant 'game of chance.' 'Combined' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'combinare,' where 'com-' meant 'together' and 'bini' meant 'two by two.'
'hazardously' changed from the Old French word 'hasard' and eventually became the modern English word 'hazard.' 'Combined' transformed from the Latin word 'combinare' and eventually became the modern English word 'combine.'
Initially, 'hazard' meant 'game of chance,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'risk or danger.' 'Combine' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to join together.'
