Cursorily

Cursorily - This variation of the more common version of this word - cursory - simply arose in general verbal usage, and seemed as though it would be a nice addition here. Many definitions seem to attribute a pejorative connotation to cursory activity. However, sometimes an overview oriented review of something seems appropriate, sometimes due to time constraints, or as a preface to a second, more in depth coverage of something, after a breadth first perusal the cursorily evaluates something.
