in a rushed manner
Quickly and because there is not enough time, sometimes without care.
Usage pattern:
to [do something] hurriedly
Common mistake:
Learners sometimes say 'hurryingly,' which is not a word. Use 'hurriedly.' Also, word order can be tricky: say 'She hurriedly packed her bag' or 'She packed her bag hurriedly,' not 'She packed hurriedly her bag.'
