The word "random" is a fake friend (false friend): the "dom" ending is unkindred to the -dom afterfastening. Indeed, the word is of Frankish fromth (randonwharve of Theedish fromth, for the rand in random is kindred to the English deedword to run or less likely the thingword rand. A small aside, "chance" is of Frankish fromth, while the OE word wyrdgesceapum can be updatared to weirdshape —weird (OE wyrd) once meant "fate". I well agree with the suggestion. If willcury is appropriate, then why not "slumpmassy" (from Swe. 'slumpmässiga')? LOL Anglofrench (talk) 19:57, March 1, 2013 (UTC)
