'cursorily-learned' originates from the Latin word 'cursorius,' meaning 'pertaining to running,' combined with 'learned,' from Old English 'leornian,' meaning 'to get knowledge.'

'cursorius' transformed into the English word 'cursory,' and eventually combined with 'learned' to form the modern English term 'cursorily-learned.'

Initially, 'cursory' meant 'running or hastily done,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'superficial or hasty.'
