Etymology
'impulsively-assessed' originates from the combination of 'impulsive' and 'assess', where 'impulsive' comes from Latin 'impulsivus', meaning 'driven onward', and 'assess' from Latin 'assidere', meaning 'to sit beside'.
'impulsively' changed from the Latin word 'impulsivus' and 'assess' from 'assidere', eventually forming the modern English term 'impulsively-assessed'.
Initially, 'impulsive' meant 'driven by impulse', and 'assess' meant 'to sit beside for evaluation'. Over time, 'impulsively-assessed' evolved to mean 'evaluated without careful thought'.
