Ad hoc.... Ex: I'd been working for him on an ad hoc basis. I tried to search for the meaning of the word 'ad hoc' but I couldn't get it. Is this word meaning 'particular'? Would you please put it in another sentence? Thanks in advance!

"Ad hoc" comes from Latin. It means "not planned in advance", "arranged when necessary". Example: an ad hoc meeting

You can say this another way: I'd been working for him occasionally. Example: She's only been modelling for Vogue on an ad hoc basis.

It means not formal. You work for the person when he has a requirement for help. That requirement could be at any time and under any conditions. So you make up the rules as you go along.

“ad hoc" means no fixed plan. For example, an "ad hoc" solution would be something you did using whatever you had available at the time, and it is likely a temporary solution.
