A random variable is called deterministic if it happens to be non-random (“red herring principle”) in that it does not actually depend on the given events, hence if it is a constant function on the underlying measure space/probability space (or at least takes a fixed value almost surely).
The law of a deterministic random variable is a Dirac measure.
