Word of the Day – CursoryTranscriptHi everyone.  Today's word of the day is cursory.  Cursory means to do something hasty, to do something quickly without careful attention to detail.  Cursory is often paired with the word “glance”.  And we can say “cursory glance”.  A cursoryglance is usually referring to looking at something quickly.  Glance is a quick look for maybe a second so we can describe the way we're reading or the way that we're doing something by saying, “We gave it a cursory glance. We didn't read through thoroughly.” So cursory is opposite of thorough.  We can use it in this example,“Tom gave a cursory glance at the news this morning and he knew only that there was a bomb threat in the subway but if he had read more carefully he would have also known that the subway was shutdown this morning.”Once again, the word cursory is usually paired with the word “glance”.  So, I hope that you can use this word cursory in your everyday lives.  Thank you for listening to Word of the Day at Practicus. You can find the full script at Practicus.co.kr.
