Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Middle English noun 'randoun' or 'randon', meaning 'impetuosity' or 'gallop', which came from the Old French verb 'randir', meaning 'to run fast'. By the 16th century, the meaning shifted to denote something happening without definite aim, direction, or method, eventually stabilizing into the modern statistical and general concept of lack of predictable pattern.
