quickly resolved
Etymology
'speedily-fixed' is a compound word formed from 'speedily' and 'fixed'. 'Speedily' originates from the Old English word 'spēd', meaning 'success' or 'prosperity', and 'fixed' comes from the Latin 'fixus', meaning 'fastened'.
'Speedily' evolved from the Old English 'spēd' to Middle English 'spede', and 'fixed' from Latin 'fixus' to Middle English 'fixen'.
Initially, 'speedily' meant 'successfully', but over time it evolved to mean 'quickly'. 'Fixed' has largely retained its meaning of 'fastened' or 'repaired'.
