hastily-modified
|has-ti-ly-mod-i-fied|
/ˈheɪstɪli ˈmɒdɪfaɪd/
quickly changed
Etymology
'hastily-modified' originates from the combination of 'hastily,' derived from the Old English 'hæstlice,' meaning 'quickly,' and 'modified,' from the Latin 'modificare,' meaning 'to measure or limit.'
'hastily' changed from the Old English word 'hæstlice' and 'modified' from the Latin 'modificare,' eventually becoming the modern English term 'hastily-modified.'
Initially, 'hastily' meant 'quickly' and 'modified' meant 'to measure or limit,' but over time, the combined term evolved to mean 'changed quickly without thorough consideration.'
