'hazardously-connected' originates from the English word 'hazardous,' which comes from the Old French word 'hasard,' meaning 'game of chance,' and 'connected,' from the Latin 'connectere,' meaning 'to bind together.'

'hazardous' evolved from the Old French 'hasard' and 'connected' from the Latin 'connectere,' eventually forming the modern English term 'hazardously-connected.'

Initially, 'hazardous' meant 'risky or dangerous,' and 'connected' meant 'linked or joined.' The combined term 'hazardously-connected' retains the meaning of being linked in a risky manner.
