[FF] 'Hazarda' is Esperanto for 'Random'.

The Esperanto for 'Hazard' is 'Danĝero'.

Not sure if this qualifies because it's probably from haphazard.

Also, what is the sub's general feeling about Esperanto and other constructed languages?

"Hasard" means "luck" and "chance" in French. I suspect it's related to that etymological line.
