quickly examined
Etymology
'hastily-analyzed' originates from the combination of 'hastily,' derived from Middle English 'hastily,' and 'analyzed,' from the Greek 'analusis,' meaning 'a breaking up.'
'hastily' changed from the Old English 'hæstlice' and 'analyzed' from the Greek 'analusis,' eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'hastily-analyzed.'
Initially, 'hastily' meant 'with speed,' and 'analyzed' meant 'to break down into components.' Together, they evolved to mean 'examined quickly without thoroughness.'
