Characterized by or inclined to haste; having a tendency toward hasty actions or decisions.
From 'haste' + '-ive' (Latin '-ivus' meaning 'having the quality of'). This suffix creates adjectives describing qualities or tendencies rather than temporary states.
The '-ive' suffix (like in 'active' or 'creative') describes lasting tendencies, not temporary actions—so 'hastive' suggested someone whose personality involved rushing, not just hurrying in a moment.
