accelerated
Gained momentum rapidly
Accelerated describes something that has been sped up or made to happen faster than normal.
An accelerated program compresses the usual timeline—finishing a degree in three years instead of four.
Accelerated growth or accelerated decline suggests a rate that's increasing rather than holding steady.
In physics, accelerated motion involves changing velocity.
The word often implies urgency or intensification: The project moved forward on an accelerated schedule.
