Etymology
'hastily-executed' originates from the combination of 'hastily' and 'executed'. 'Hastily' comes from the Old English 'hæst', meaning 'speed', and 'executed' from Latin 'executus', meaning 'carried out'.
'Hastily' evolved from Middle English 'hast', and 'executed' from Middle English 'executen', both merging to form the modern term 'hastily-executed'.
Initially, 'hastily' meant 'with speed', and 'executed' meant 'carried out'. Together, they evolved to imply a sense of urgency and lack of thoroughness.
