Etymology
'randomly-built' originates from the combination of 'randomly' and 'built'. 'Randomly' comes from 'random', which has roots in Old French 'randir', meaning 'to gallop', and 'built' is the past participle of 'build', from Old English 'byldan', meaning 'to construct'.
'Randomly-built' combines the adverb 'randomly' with the past participle 'built', forming a modern English adjective.
Initially, 'randomly' meant 'without definite aim', and 'built' meant 'constructed'. Together, they describe something constructed without a specific plan.
