Origin:
The word "hasty" originally referred to something related to a feast day. It derives from the Latin word "festīvus," meaning "pertaining to a feast day." Over time, the meaning of "hasty" evolved to refer to something done in a hurry or without proper care. This shift in meaning is likely due to the fact that feast days are often associated with excessive eating and drinking, which can lead to a lack of attention to detail and a rushed pace.
