randomised
Made deliberately haphazard
Randomised is the British spelling of randomized.
To randomise is to arrange or select by chance, removing systematic bias: Participants were randomised into treatment and control groups.
The term appears most often in scientific and medical contexts, where randomised controlled trials are considered the gold standard for testing interventions.
