expeditiously

/ˌɛkspəˈdɪʃəsɫi/ adv

In an expeditious manner, quickly.

Word Origin Expeditious comes from Latin 'expeditus', past participle of 'expedire' 'to free the foot' ('ex-' 'out' + 'pes' 'foot'). So expeditiously means 'in a speedy, efficient manner,' as if unshackled. The same root gives us expedite, expedition, and impede (shackle the foot). The image of freeing the foot to move quickly is at the heart of this word.
