hastish (comparative more hastish, superlative most hastish)

  1. (obsolete, rare) hasty; impetuous
    • 1749, Henry Fielding, The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling:
      The landlady [] did not think proper to give any offence; for, though she was not without some concern for the confinement of poor Sophia, of whose great sweetness of temper and affability the maid of the house had made so favourable a report, which was confirmed by all the squire’s servants, yet she had much more concern for her own interest than to provoke one, whom, as she said, she perceived to be a very hastish kind of a gentleman.
