Historical Evolution

'quickly' evolved from Middle English 'quikliche' and 'create' from Old French 'creer,' eventually becoming the modern English words 'quickly' and 'create.'

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'quickly' meant 'in a lively manner,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'at a fast pace.' 'Create' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to make or produce.'
