'hastily-checked' originates from the combination of 'hastily,' derived from the Old English 'hæstlice,' meaning 'quickly,' and 'checked,' from the Old French 'eschequier,' meaning 'to inspect or verify.'

'hastily' changed from the Old English 'hæstlice' to the modern English 'hastily,' and 'checked' evolved from the Old French 'eschequier' to the modern English 'check.'

Initially, 'hastily' meant 'quickly or with speed,' and 'checked' meant 'to inspect or verify.' The combined term 'hastily-checked' retains the essence of both meanings, indicating a quick inspection.
