randomly-adjusted
|ran-dom-ly-ad-just-ed|
/ˈrændəmli əˈdʒʌstɪd/
modified without a plan
Etymology
'randomly-adjusted' originates from the combination of 'randomly' and 'adjusted'. 'Randomly' comes from 'random', which has roots in Old French 'randir', meaning 'to gallop', and 'adjusted' comes from Latin 'adjuxtare', meaning 'to bring near'.
'randomly' evolved from the Old French 'randir', and 'adjusted' from the Latin 'adjuxtare', eventually forming the modern English term 'randomly-adjusted'.
Initially, 'randomly' meant 'without definite aim', and 'adjusted' meant 'to bring near'. Over time, 'randomly-adjusted' evolved to mean 'modified without a systematic plan'.
