The term 'headlong' refers to acting with a lack of careful consideration or planning, often rushing into something recklessly. It denotes a sense of urgency and haste, typically without pausing to think about the consequences or possible outcomes. When someone acts headlong, they might dive into a situation or action energetically but without due deliberation or awareness of the potential risks involved.
