Etymology
'quickly-put-together' originates from the combination of 'quickly,' an adverb meaning 'at a fast pace,' and 'put together,' a phrasal verb meaning 'to assemble or create.'
'Quickly' comes from the Old English 'cwic,' meaning 'alive' or 'lively,' while 'put together' evolved from the Middle English 'putten' and 'togen,' meaning 'to place' and 'to gather,' respectively.
Initially, 'quickly' meant 'lively' or 'alive,' but over time it evolved to mean 'at a fast pace.' 'Put together' has largely retained its original meaning of 'assemble or create.'
