Definition
匆忙 (cōngmáng) describes actions done in a hurry, without delay, but not necessarily with panic or confusion. It contrasts with 仓促 (cāngcù), which adds the idea of insufficient preparation, and with 忙乱 (mángluàn), which implies being flustered and disorganized. 匆匆 (cōngcōng) is a more literary synonym often used adverbially.
