Etymology

From Middle English hasty, of obscure origin. Likely a new formation in Middle English equivalent to haste + -y, found as in other Germanic languages (Old Frisian hâstich, Middle Dutch haestich (> Dutch haastig (“hasty”)), Middle Low German hastich (“hasty”), German hastig, Danish hastig, Swedish hastig (“hasty”)); otherwise possibly representing an assimilation to the foregoing of Middle English hastive, hastif (> English hastive), from Old French hastif (Modern French hâtif), from Frankish *haifst (“violence”), ultimately of the same Germanic origin.

* From a pet form of the Norman personal name Asketin, derived from Old Norse Ásketill, composed of the elements áss (“god”) and ketill (“sacrificial cauldron”).
* From Middle English hasty (“quick, speedy”), a nickname for a brisk or impetuous person, or possibly for a messenger.

Webster’s 1913

  1. adjective Involving haste; done, made, etc., in haste; as, a hasty sketch.
  2. adjective Demanding haste or immediate action. [R.] Chaucer. "Hasty employment." Shak.

Etymology [Akin to D. haastig, G., Sw., & Dan. hastig. See Haste, n.]
