erratically

/ɛˈɹætɪkɫi/ adv

In an erratic manner; unsteadily or randomly, unpredictably.

Word Origin Erratic comes from Latin errare 'to wander, stray' — so something erratic wanders unpredictably. Erratically means 'in a wandering, unpredictable way.' The same root gives us error (a straying from truth), aberrant (wandering away from normal), and unerring (not wandering, accurate). The PIE root *ers- meant 'to be in motion, wander.'

adv In an erratic manner; unsteadily or randomly, unpredictably.

The stock price moved erratically throughout the trading day.
