<upd_detl>* Correct definition (definition/nuance was wrong, probably confused with せっかち).
* Add link

Correct sense is “restless, fidgety” (as given in GG5 and many 英辞郎 entries) – the 国語 ones esp. emphasize 落ち着けのない and こせこせ, which again underline “not relaxed, making small, repeated movements”, which are expressed in English best as “restless, fidgety” (other glosses also used, depending on context).

Current/previous gloss was “impetuously; hastily” which literally means acting *suddenly*, which is rather different.
This is probably a confusion with せっかち, which *does* mean acting hastily and impetuously.

Also added a link to せっかち as quite similar (easily confused) and may be etymologically related.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>For consistency's sake I think it's best to stick to adverb glosses. せかせかと usage is fairly common.
Don't need the x-ref.</upd_detl>
