Etymology
'unhurriedly-fixed' is a compound word formed from 'unhurriedly' and 'fixed'. 'Unhurriedly' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'hurriedly' from 'hurry', which comes from Middle English 'hurren'. 'Fixed' comes from Latin 'fixus', meaning 'fastened'.
'Unhurriedly' evolved from the Middle English 'hurren', while 'fixed' has remained relatively unchanged from its Latin roots.
Initially, 'unhurriedly' meant 'not in a rush', and 'fixed' meant 'fastened'. Together, they convey a sense of calm stability.
