Done very quickly, often with too little care or thought, as if rushing to finish.
From 'hasty' (from Old French 'haste,' meaning rush or urgency) plus '-ly' adverb ending. The word entered English around the 1300s-1400s during a period emphasizing urgency in commerce and travel.
Studies show that hastily-made decisions are wrong about 60% of the time, but humans keep rushing anyway because our brains feel good making quick choices—it feels like decisiveness! Interestingly, the word 'hasty' comes from the same root as 'haste,' both connected to the idea of heated hurrying.
