Etymology

The word 'arbitrarily' originated from the Latin word 'arbitrarius', meaning 'dependent on the will of another or of others'. Over time, it evolved to represent actions or decisions made without constraint or reason. The concept of arbitrariness has been a subject of philosophical debate, particularly in the context of law and ethics.
