Answer:

The correct answer is: satisficing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Satisficing is a term coined by American economist Herbert A. Simon (1916-2001) that is a combination of the words "satisfying" and "sufficing" and that mixed Simon used to explain that when we have to make a decision generally we do not lose much time evaluating all the possible options, instead we choose the first reasonable option we find.

Answer:

satisficing

Step-by-step explanation:

Satisficing is a combination of "satisfy" and "suffice" (or enough). It refers to a situation where instead of trying to reach a completely satisfying solution, you just settle for a relatively good or a so-so solution.

Personally I believe it is something that borders mediocrity, since you should either do something right or do not do it at all. It is like doing something that might work, but not completely.
