'randomly-targeted' originates from the combination of 'randomly' and 'targeted'. 'Randomly' comes from 'random', which has roots in Old French 'randir', meaning 'to gallop', and 'targeted' comes from 'target', which has roots in Old French 'targette', meaning 'a small shield'.

'Randomly' evolved from the Old French 'randir', and 'targeted' evolved from the Old French 'targette'. The combination of these words into 'randomly-targeted' is a modern English construct.

Initially, 'random' meant 'to gallop', but over time it evolved to mean 'without a specific pattern'. 'Target' initially meant 'a small shield', but evolved to mean 'an object of aim'.
