'randomly-oriented' originates from the combination of 'randomly' and 'oriented'. 'Randomly' comes from 'random', which originates from Old French 'randir', meaning 'to gallop', and 'oriented' comes from 'orient', which originates from Latin 'orientem', meaning 'rising, east'.

'randomly' evolved from the Old French 'randir', and 'oriented' evolved from the Latin 'orientem'. Together, they formed the modern English term 'randomly-oriented'.

Initially, 'randomly' meant 'without definite aim or direction', and 'oriented' meant 'aligned or positioned'. Together, they describe something aligned without a specific pattern.
