aimless

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'quite so haphazard' is the definition.
'aimless' can be an answer for 'haphazard' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'quite so' bit.

'oddly i am not' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates an anagram.
'not' becomes 'less' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'i'+'am'='iam'
'iam' with letters rearranged gives 'aim'.
'aim'+'less'='AIMLESS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aimless that I've seen before include "Without objectives" , "lacking direction" , "without sense of purpose" , "Without purpose or direction" , "With no plan or programme" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
