Etymology: From Middle English quykly, quikliche, quicliche, cwikliche, cwickliche, from Old English cwiculīċe. By surface analysis, quick + -ly.

  1. Rapidly; with speed; fast; with expedition.

    “Luckily, the error was quickly corrected.”

  2. Very soon.

    “If we go this way, we'll get there quickly.”

    “Another Karadeniz cross led to Cudicini's first save of the night, with the Spurs keeper making up for a weak punch by brilliantly pushing away Christian Noboa's snap-shot. Two more top-class stops followed quickly afterwards, first from Natcho's rasping shot which was heading into the top corner, and then to deny Ryazantsev at his near post.”
