/ˈheɪstɪli//ˈheɪstɪli/

The word "hastily" has its roots in Old English. It can be traced back to the word "hast", which means "swiftly" or "speedily". This word is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*hastiz", which is also the source of the Modern German word "geschwind", meaning "swift". The suffix "-ly" was added to "hast" to form the adverb "hastily", which means performing an action quickly or in a hurry. This suffix is commonly used to form adverbs in English, such as "quickly", "loudly", and "wisely". The word "hastily" has been in use since the 14th century and has retained its original meaning. It can be used in a variety of contexts, such as "She ate her breakfast hastily" or "He finished the project hastily due to the deadline".
