'rapidly' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'rapidus,' where 'rapere' meant 'to seize or carry off.' 'Cut' originates from Old English, specifically the word 'cyttan,' which meant 'to cut or divide.'

'rapidly' changed from the Latin word 'rapidus' and eventually became the modern English word 'rapidly.' 'Cut' transformed from the Old English word 'cyttan' and eventually became the modern English word 'cut.'

Initially, 'rapidly' meant 'seizing quickly,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'quickly or swiftly.' 'Cut' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to divide or sever.'
