cursory
의미: Hasty and therefore not thorough or detailed; performed quickly with little attention to detail.
Cursory describes a quick, superficial examination or action that does not go into depth. Unlike 'perfunctory' (which implies going through the motions), cursory emphasises speed and brevity. It can be neutral (a cursory glance was enough to spot the error) or negative (a cursory investigation missed crucial evidence). It collocates with 'glance,' 'examination,' 'inspection,' 'look,' and 'reading.'
