Definition
慌忙 (huāng máng) describes acting in a rush because you are flustered or panicked — the hurry comes from anxiety, unlike 匆匆 (cōng cōng), which simply means 'in a hurry' without that emotional overlay. It is close to 慌张 (huāng zhāng), but 慌忙 emphasizes the hurried action while 慌张 focuses more on the agitated inner state.
