Etymology
'cursory-evaluated' originates from the combination of 'cursory' and 'evaluated'. 'Cursory' comes from the Latin word 'cursorius', meaning 'pertaining to running', and 'evaluated' is derived from the Latin 'valere', meaning 'to be strong or of value'.
'Cursory' changed from the Latin 'cursorius' to the Middle English 'cursory', and 'evaluated' evolved from the Latin 'valere' to the modern English 'evaluate'.
Initially, 'cursory' meant 'pertaining to running', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'hasty or superficial'. 'Evaluated' has largely retained its meaning of 'assessed or judged'.
