Etymology
'quickly-repaired' is a compound word formed from 'quickly' and 'repaired'. 'Quickly' originates from Old English 'cwiclice', meaning 'lively' or 'alive', and 'repaired' comes from Old French 'reparer', meaning 'to mend'.
'Quickly' evolved from Old English 'cwiclice' to Middle English 'quikly', and 'repaired' from Old French 'reparer' to Middle English 'repairen'.
Initially, 'quickly' meant 'lively', but over time it evolved to mean 'in a short time'. 'Repaired' has maintained its meaning of 'mended'.
