Etymology

The word 'summarily' originates from the Latin word 'summarius', which means 'of or pertaining to a summary'. This Latin term itself is derived from 'summa', meaning 'the whole' or 'total'. The term has evolved through Middle French before making its way into the English language around the late 14th century. It began to be widely used in the context of legal and formal proceedings, where decisions or actions could be taken swiftly without extensive deliberation. Over time, its use has broadened to contexts outside of the legal realm, now commonly applied in everyday language to describe any action or statement that is made quickly and without detail.
