Etymology
'randomly-formed' originates from the English word 'random,' which comes from the Old French word 'randir,' meaning 'to run' or 'to gallop,' combined with 'formed,' from the Latin 'formare,' meaning 'to shape.'
'randomly' evolved from the Middle English 'randoun,' meaning 'impetuous course,' and 'formed' from the Old French 'former,' meaning 'to form or shape.'
Initially, 'random' meant 'impetuous or forceful,' but over time it evolved to mean 'without a specific pattern or order.'
