Origin:
The ultimate origin of the word "random" is Germanic, but its exact etymology is uncertain. One theory is that it comes from the Old High German word rant, meaning "violent course, running, stream," which in turn may be related to the verb rennen, meaning "to run." Another theory is that it comes from the Proto-Germanic word *randoz, meaning "rim, edge," which may have referred to the edge of a path or the meandering course of a river.
The word "random" entered English in the 14th century, originally meaning "violent movement" or "impetuous course." It later acquired its modern meaning of "occurring or chosen by chance" in the 16th century.
