flurried
In nervous haste
Flurried describes a state of nervous agitation or hurried confusion.
Someone flurried is flustered, rushing about without composure: She arrived flurried and apologetic, having misread the invitation.
The word suggests being caught off guard or overwhelmed by sudden demands, like being buffeted by a flurry of snow or activity.
