The effect of -site randomness on the antiferroelectric/relaxor nature of the ground state was investigated by studying diffuse and inelastic X-ray scattering from ordered and disordered Pb(InNb)O (O- and D-PIN) single crystals. The diffuse scattering measurement of O-PIN (antiferroelectric at 
) shows the existence of ferroelectrically interactive local polarization above 
. Inelastic X-ray scattering shows that the transverse-acoustic (TA) and transverse-optic (TO) modes are dominant at 
800 K, while the central peak (CP) and TA modes are coupled and majorly contribute to the critical behavior of the diffuse scattering at . Upon these results, the -site randomness is discussed in terms of suppressing the antiferroelectric instability and enhancing the polarization fluctuation.
