Etymology
'hazardously-linked' originates from 'hazardous,' which comes from the Old French word 'hasard,' meaning 'game of chance,' and 'link,' from Old English 'hlencan,' meaning 'to join or connect.'
'hazardous' evolved from the Old French 'hasard' and 'link' from Old English 'hlencan,' eventually forming the modern English term 'hazardously-linked.'
Initially, 'hazardous' meant 'involving risk or chance,' and 'link' meant 'to connect.' Over time, 'hazardously-linked' evolved to mean 'connected in a risky or dangerous manner.'
