hurry
Pick up pace
Hurry is urgent haste—moving or acting faster than comfortable pace allows.
You hurry to catch a train, hurry through a meal, hurry someone along.
What's the hurry? asks why speed is necessary.
No hurry signals patience.
To be in a hurry is to feel pressed for time.
I won't do that again in a hurry means not anytime soon.
