Etymology
'hastily-developed' originates from the combination of 'hastily,' derived from the Old English 'hæst,' meaning 'speed,' and 'developed,' from the French 'développer,' meaning 'to unfold.'
'hastily' changed from the Old English 'hæst' to the modern English 'hasty,' and 'developed' evolved from the French 'développer' to the modern English 'develop.'
Initially, 'hastily' meant 'with speed,' and 'developed' meant 'unfolded or expanded,' but over time, they combined to describe something created quickly.
