The word random is used to describe a lack of pattern or organisation in behaviour. It may have very specific technical meanings in mathematics / statistics however.

In math the term random usually means not able to be predicted or happening by chance. It implies a lack of order.

In statistics we use the term random variable to mean a rule that applies a numerical outcome to each event in a sample space.

More generally in statistics randomness means a lack of correlation or a lack of bias.
