Wikipedia states that aleatoric is derived from the Latin phrase "rolling of the dice." In most instances in which I've come across it, it refers to the production of art "by chance," that is, by capitalizing on or employing random processes.
The word protandrous can also refer to the same phenomenon in the hermaphrodite form of the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, which matures and releases large sperm loads before development of its oocytes.
The word anamnesis is also used in immunology to describe the enhanced and more rapid neutralization of an antigen upon second exposure; in other words, it is the "retrieval" of an immune response.
