hastily-dealt
|has-ti-ly-dealt|
/ˈheɪstɪli dɛlt/
rushed execution
Etymology
'hastily-dealt' originates from the combination of 'hastily,' derived from the Old English 'hæstlice,' meaning 'in haste,' and 'dealt,' the past participle of 'deal,' from the Old English 'dǣlan,' meaning 'to divide or distribute.'
'hastily' changed from the Old English 'hæstlice' to the modern English 'hastily,' and 'dealt' evolved from the Old English 'dǣlan' to the modern English 'deal.'
Initially, 'hastily' meant 'in haste,' and 'dealt' meant 'to divide or distribute.' Over time, 'hastily-dealt' evolved to mean 'performed in a hurried manner.'
