Etymology
'quickly-cultivated' is a compound word formed from 'quickly' and 'cultivated'. 'Quickly' originates from Old English 'cwic', meaning 'alive', and 'cultivated' comes from Latin 'cultivatus', the past participle of 'cultivare', meaning 'to till'.
'Quickly' evolved from Old English 'cwic' to Middle English 'quik', and 'cultivated' from Latin 'cultivatus' to Middle English 'cultivaten'.
Initially, 'quickly' meant 'alive', but evolved to mean 'rapidly', and 'cultivated' retained its meaning of 'prepared for crops'.
