unleisurely = leisurely (transparent) = un + leisure + ly
The adjective is formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'un-' to 'leisurely', producing a direct opposite meaning.
Etymology
Unleisurely is formed from un- meaning 'not' and leisure meaning 'free time' or 'relax', like the familiar word leisurely. So unleisurely describes an action or movement that is 'not relaxed', hurried or done quickly because someone has no time.
