Arbitrary

/ˈɑːrbəˌtrɛri/ adjective

Arbitrary means based on personal choice, chance, or random decision rather than on clear rules, reasons, or systems.

From Latin "arbitrarius" meaning "depending on the will of an arbiter," from "arbiter" (judge). It shifted from “decided by a judge” to “decided by someone’s will, not by principle.”
