aleatoric – Wellington word of the week

Don’t say that we at Wel­ling­tonista Towers don’t know nuffink.

Aleat­or­ic

Aleat­ory means “per­tain­ing to luck”, and derives from the Lat­in word alea, the rolling of dice. Aleat­or­ic, inde­term­in­ate, or chance art is that which exploits the prin­ciple of ran­dom­ness.

How this relates to Wel­ling­ton – I think it was fairly aleat­or­ic that there was no-one worth a Wel­ling­ton Windy Day stand­ing against Kerry Pren­der­gast oth­er­wise she’d be his­tory*
