without plan, method, or pattern
In a way that has no clear plan or order, so you cannot know what will happen next.
用法パターン：
[something] is randomly [verb-ed]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes say *'in random'* instead of *'randomly'* or *'at random'*. Use *'The numbers were chosen randomly'* or *'The numbers were chosen at random'*, not *'The numbers were chosen in random'*. Another confusion is with *'arbitrarily'*, which implies a possibly unfair personal choice, while *'randomly'* usually suggests chance without personal bias.
類義語
haphazardly (Suggests lack of order or care, often slightly more formal and less technical than 'randomly'.)
|
arbitrarily (Emphasizes lack of reason or fairness rather than lack of pattern in data.)
対義語
systematically (Focuses on doing things according to a clear system or plan, the opposite of doing them randomly.)
|
deliberately (Stresses that something is done with clear intention, not by chance.)

用法パターン：
[someone] randomly [verb]s
よくある間違い：
Learners may overuse this informal meaning in serious or academic contexts, where it can sound childish or vague. In formal writing, use more precise words like *'unexpectedly'*, *'without warning'*, or *'for no clear reason'* instead of *'randomly'*. Also, this sense usually describes human actions or everyday events, not scientific or statistical processes.
類義語
suddenly (Focuses more on quickness than on the lack of reason or connection.)
|
out of nowhere (Very informal, strongly emphasizes surprise; often more emotional than 'randomly'.)
対義語
predictably (Describes something that happens in an expected or understandable way, not strangely or for no reason.)
|
understandably (Signals that there is a clear, reasonable cause, unlike actions that happen 'randomly'.)
