quickly

In a flash

Quickly means in a short amount of time or at a fast pace: She quickly finished her homework, He walked quickly to catch the bus.

It can emphasize immediacy: Come quickly! or suggest briefness: Let me quickly explain.

The word sometimes carries a sense of haste that might compromise quality: a quickly assembled report.
