Etymology
'quickly-recovered' originates from the combination of 'quickly' and 'recovered', where 'quickly' is derived from Old English 'cwiclice', meaning 'lively' or 'alive', and 'recovered' from Old French 'recovrer', meaning 'to regain'.
'quickly' changed from Old English 'cwiclice' to Middle English 'quikly', and 'recovered' from Old French 'recovrer' to Middle English 'recoveren', eventually forming the modern English term 'quickly-recovered'.
Initially, 'quickly' meant 'lively' or 'alive', and 'recovered' meant 'to regain'. Over time, 'quickly-recovered' evolved to mean 'having regained health or strength swiftly'.
