/ˈrændəmli ˈsɛɡməntɪd/
divided without order
Etymology
'randomly-segmented' originates from the combination of 'randomly' and 'segmented'. 'Randomly' comes from 'random', which has roots in Old French 'randir', meaning 'to gallop', and 'segmented' comes from Latin 'segmentum', meaning 'a piece cut off'.
'randomly' evolved from the Old French 'randir', and 'segmented' from Latin 'segmentum', eventually forming the modern English term 'randomly-segmented'.
Initially, 'randomly' meant 'without definite aim', and 'segmented' meant 'cut into pieces'. Together, they evolved to mean 'divided into parts without a specific pattern'.
