unmethodical

/ʌnmɛθˈɑdɪkəl/ adj

Not methodical.

Word Origin Unmethodical is the opposite of methodical, which comes from Greek methodos 'pursuit of knowledge' — literally meta- 'after, with' and hodos 'way, road.' So a method is a 'way after' something, a path to follow. The same meta- appears in metaphor (carrying across), metamorphosis (changing form), and metaphysics (beyond physics). Hodos gives us odometer (road-measurer) and episode (a coming in on the way). Unmethodical means lacking that orderly path.
