Etymology of SLAPDASHING

The term "slapdashing" has its origins in the combination of two words: "slap" and "dashing".

The word "slap" originated around the mid-17th century and comes from the Middle Dutch word "slappe", which meant "hanging loosely". Over time, "slap" also came to mean "hasty" or "careless" in English.

The word "dash", which means to move or act quickly and energetically, has roots in Middle English and Old Norse.

By combining these two words, "slap" (careless, hasty) and "dash" (quick, energetic), the term "slapdashing" emerged. It generally describes something done quickly and without much thought or care, often resulting in a superficial or incomplete result. It can also refer to a hasty or hurried manner in which someone behaves or acts.
