The act of dabbling often implies a lack of seriousness or deep commitment towards the activity being pursued. It suggests engaging in something as a mere pastime, curiosity, or temporary interest rather than a devoted pursuit. People who dabble in a particular field or hobby might explore its basic aspects, but they do not typically aim for mastery or expertise. They might engage in it intermittently or as a secondary interest while primarily focusing on another area.

In summary, dabbled refers to engaging superficially or casually in an activity, subject, or field without making a deep commitment or pursuing expertise. It is often associated with experimenting, playing, or toying with different interests rather than becoming fully dedicated to any one of them.
