Etymology
'cursorily' originates from the Latin word 'cursorius,' meaning 'pertaining to running,' combined with 'reviewed' from the Latin 'revidere,' meaning 'to see again.'
'cursorily' evolved from the Latin 'cursorius' through Old French 'cursory,' while 'reviewed' came from the Latin 'revidere' through Old French 'reviser.'
Initially, 'cursorily' meant 'in a running manner,' but it evolved to mean 'done quickly and without attention to detail.'
