'haphazardly-guided' originates from the combination of 'haphazardly' and 'guided'. 'Haphazardly' comes from 'haphazard', which originates from the Middle English word 'hap', meaning 'chance', and 'hazard', meaning 'risk'. 'Guided' comes from the Old English 'gīedan', meaning 'to lead'.

'Haphazardly' evolved from 'hap' and 'hazard', while 'guided' evolved from the Old English 'gīedan'. Together, they form the modern English term 'haphazardly-guided'.

Initially, 'haphazardly' meant 'by chance', and 'guided' meant 'led'. Together, they evolved to mean 'led in a random manner'.
