set up rapidly
Etymology
The word 'quickly-arranged' is a compound formed from 'quickly' (from 'quick') and 'arranged' (from 'arrange'). 'Quick' comes from Old English 'cwic', meaning 'alive', and 'arrange' comes from Old French 'arranger', meaning 'to put in order'.
'Quickly-arranged' is a modern English compound, combining the adverb 'quickly' and the past participle 'arranged', to describe something set up rapidly.
Initially, the components meant 'in a quick manner' and 'put in order', but together, they evolved to mean 'set up or organized rapidly'.
