Etymology
'hastily' originates from Middle English, specifically the word 'hastif,' where 'hast' meant 'speed.' 'Controlled' comes from Old French 'contreroller,' meaning 'to check or verify.'
'Hastily' changed from the Middle English word 'hastif' and eventually became the modern English word 'hastily.' 'Controlled' evolved from the Old French 'contreroller' to the modern English 'controlled.'
Initially, 'hastily' meant 'with speed,' but over time it evolved to imply a lack of care or thoroughness. 'Controlled' has largely retained its original meaning of 'managed or regulated.'
