Etymology
'quickly-updated' is a compound word formed from 'quickly' and 'updated'. 'Quickly' originates from Old English 'cwic', meaning 'alive', and 'updated' comes from the verb 'update', which is derived from 'up' and 'date'.
'quickly' evolved from Old English 'cwic' to Middle English 'quik', and 'updated' from the verb 'update', which was first used in the 20th century.
Initially, 'quickly' meant 'alive', but over time it evolved to mean 'rapidly'. 'Updated' has retained its meaning of 'bringing something up to date'.
