Etymology
The term 'randomly-structured' is a compound formed from 'randomly' (from 'random' + '-ly') and 'structured' (from 'structure' + '-ed'), meaning 'having a structure formed at random.'
'Randomly' comes from Middle English 'randoun' (force, speed), and 'structured' comes from Latin 'structura' (a fitting together, building). The compound 'randomly-structured' is a modern English formation.
Initially, the components meant 'by chance' and 'having a structure,' but together, they now mean 'having a structure formed by chance.'
