Etymology
'hastily-assumed' originates from the combination of 'hastily,' derived from the Old English 'hæstlice,' meaning 'quickly,' and 'assumed,' from the Latin 'assumere,' meaning 'to take up.'
'Hastily-assumed' combines the adverb 'hastily' and the past participle 'assumed' to form a modern English adjective.
Initially, 'hastily' meant 'quickly' and 'assumed' meant 'taken up,' but together they evolved to describe something accepted without thorough consideration.
