Etymology
The word 'hastily-sent' is a compound formed from 'hastily' (from 'haste' + '-ly') and 'sent' (past participle of 'send'). 'Hastily' comes from Middle English 'hastily', from 'haste' meaning 'speed' or 'urgency', and 'sent' is from Old English 'sendan'.
'Hastily' evolved from Middle English 'hastily', and 'sent' from Old English 'sendan'. The compound 'hastily-sent' is a modern English formation used to describe something sent in haste.
Initially, the components meant 'in a hasty manner' and 'dispatched', and together now mean 'sent quickly or without care'.
