I suppose what most people think of when they mention "random number" is
a "randomly selected number". That is, one whose selection is as
unpredictable as possible.
e.g. using a high-gain amplifier into an ADC to produce seemingly random
sequences of numbers (which would actually be weighted by whatever
electromagnetic fields are in the area).
