quick assessment
Etymology
'hastily-evaluated' originates from the combination of 'hastily,' derived from 'haste,' and 'evaluated,' from the Latin 'evaluare,' where 'e-' meant 'out' and 'valere' meant 'to be strong or worth.'
'hastily' changed from the Old English 'hæst' meaning 'violent or rapid,' and 'evaluate' from the Latin 'evaluare,' eventually becoming the modern English word 'evaluate.'
Initially, 'hastily' meant 'in a hurried manner,' and 'evaluate' meant 'to assess the value of something,' which has largely remained the same in modern usage.
