cursorily

This word is primarily used in formal or professional contexts. It describes an action performed with a lack of thoroughness, often implying that the person was negligent, rushed, or uninterested in the details.

While "quickly" is neutral and simply refers to speed, "cursorily" carries a negative connotation of superficiality. If you say someone reviewed a document "quickly," it might be a compliment to their efficiency; if you say they reviewed it "cursorily," you are suggesting they missed important information because they didn't look closely enough.

Commonly paired with verbs of inspection or review, such as "glance," "examine," "scan," or "inspect." It is rarely used in casual, spoken conversation, where phrases like "gave it a quick once-over" or "skimmed through it" are more natural.
