irregularize

Remove the pattern

To irregularize is to make something irregular—to disrupt a pattern, remove from standard form, or introduce inconsistency.

The word appears occasionally in technical or administrative contexts: The new policy would irregularize scheduling across departments.

It's the opposite of regularize, though far less common.
