Etymology
'quickly-completed' originates from the combination of 'quickly' and 'complete', where 'quickly' is derived from Old English 'cwic' meaning 'alive' and 'complete' from Latin 'completus', meaning 'filled up'.
'quickly' evolved from Old English 'cwic' to Middle English 'quik', and 'complete' from Latin 'completus' to Middle English 'completen'.
Initially, 'quickly' meant 'alive' and 'complete' meant 'filled up', but over time, 'quickly-completed' evolved to mean 'finished in a short time'.
