haphazardly

/hæpˈhæzədli/ · hap·haz·ard·ly
adverb
  1. In a haphazard manner; in a random, chaotic, and incomplete manner. She tossed the papers onto the desk haphazardly, scattering them across the surface.
Did you know? The word haphazard originally described a game of chance that combined luck (hap) with a dice game (hazard), and its adverbial form now evokes the same sense of unpredictable, careless action.
