surface-level assessment
Etymology
'superficially-reviewed' originates from the combination of 'superficial' and 'review', where 'superficial' comes from Latin 'superficialis', meaning 'of or pertaining to the surface', and 'review' from Old French 'reviure', meaning 'to see again'.
'superficial' changed from the Latin word 'superficialis' and 'review' from the Old French 'reviure', eventually forming the modern English term 'superficially-reviewed'.
Initially, 'superficial' meant 'pertaining to the surface', but over time it evolved to imply a lack of depth or thoroughness in examination.
