Origin
The word "summarily" is derived from the Latin word "summārius," which means "of a pack animal." This term was used to describe the quick and efficient way that pack animals were loaded and unloaded. Over time, the word "summarily" came to be applied to other situations in which things were done quickly and without much thought.
In the 16th century, "summarily" began to be used in legal contexts to describe the process of convicting someone without a trial. This usage is still in effect today, as "summary justice" is sometimes used to refer to the execution of someone without a formal trial.
However, the most common usage of "summarily" today is to describe something that is done in a hasty or concise manner, without much detail or consideration. For example, a teacher might say that they "summarily dismissed" a student who was misbehaving in class.
