Hasty, superficial, or done quickly without much thought or attention to detail.
From Latin 'cursorius' meaning 'of running' or 'suitable for running.' The meaning evolved from the idea of moving quickly to mean doing something in a rushed, surface-level way.
This word is related to 'cursor'—the blinking line that runs across your screen—because both come from the Latin word for 'running.' A cursorary glance is like your cursor speed-scanning across text.
