rapidly-released
|rap-id-ly-re-leased|
/ˈræpɪdli rɪˈliːst/
released very quickly
Etymology
The word 'rapidly-released' is a compound formed from 'rapidly' (from Latin 'rapidus' meaning 'swift') and 'released' (from Old French 'relaisser', from Latin 'relaxare' meaning 'to loosen').
'Rapidly' and 'released' were combined in modern English to form the compound adjective 'rapidly-released', used to describe something released quickly.
Initially, the words meant 'swiftly' and 'set free', but together as 'rapidly-released', they evolved to mean 'made available very quickly'.
