unpatterned connection
Etymology
'randomly-connected' originates from the combination of 'randomly' and 'connected'. 'Randomly' comes from 'random', which originates from Old French 'randir', meaning 'to gallop', and 'connected' comes from Latin 'connectere', where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'nectere' meant 'to bind'.
'Randomly' evolved from the Old French 'randir', and 'connected' evolved from the Latin 'connectere'. The combination of these words formed the modern English term 'randomly-connected'.
Initially, 'randomly' meant 'without a specific pattern', and 'connected' meant 'joined together'. The combination retains the original meanings, describing a connection without a specific pattern.
