'quickly-diced' originates from the combination of 'quickly,' an adverb meaning 'at a fast pace,' and 'diced,' the past participle of 'dice,' meaning 'to cut into small cubes.'

'Quickly' comes from Old English 'cwic,' meaning 'alive,' and 'diced' from Old French 'dé,' meaning 'dice.'

Initially, 'dice' referred to the act of cutting into cubes, and 'quickly' meant 'alive.' Over time, 'quickly' evolved to mean 'at a fast pace,' and 'diced' retained its original meaning.
