hasty (adj.)

“haste, swiftness, speed” emerged in the late 13th century; and “need for quick action, urgency” appeared around 1300. They originated from Old French word “haste” (12th Century, Modern French “hâte”). The word may have been derived from Frankish “*haifst”, meaning “violence”, or another Germanic source, from Proto-Germanic “*haifstiz” (source also of Gothic “haifsts”, meaning “strife,” Old English “hæste”, meaning “violent, vehement, impetuous”). Since the late 14th century, the concept has been expanded and referred to as “undue haste,” “rashness,” and “unwise or unseemly quickness.” The phrase “make haste” meaning “act quickly” was first recorded in the 1530s.

形容词后缀，表示“充满或以...为特征”，源自古英语 -ig，来自原始日耳曼语 *-iga-（荷兰语、丹麦语、德语 -ig，哥特语 -egs 也有同源词），源自 PIE 语言的形容词后缀 -(i)ko-，与希腊语 -ikos 、拉丁语 -icus 中的元素同源（参见 -ic）。最初用于古英语中的名词； 从13世纪开始用于动词，到15世纪甚至用于其他形容词（例如 crispy）。像 hugy 、 vasty 这样的形容词是为了诗歌韵律而创造的人造词。
