Etymology
'hastily-structured' originates from the combination of 'hastily,' derived from the Old English 'hæstlice,' meaning 'in a hurried manner,' and 'structured,' from the Latin 'structura,' meaning 'to build or arrange.'
'hastily' changed from the Old English 'hæstlice' to the modern English 'hastily,' while 'structured' evolved from the Latin 'structura' to the modern English 'structured.'
Initially, 'hastily' meant 'in a hurried manner,' and 'structured' meant 'to build or arrange.' The combined term 'hastily-structured' retains the essence of both original meanings, indicating something built or arranged quickly.
