Changes in meaning of the word

By origin, and in early and many surviving uses, the word quick meant living, alive. It is common to Germanic languages, confer German keck, lively, Dutch kwik, and Danish kvik; confer also Danish kvaeg, cattle. The original root is seen in Sanskrit jiva; Latin vivus, living, alive; Greek bios, life.

In its original sense the chief uses are such as the quick and the dead, of the Apostles' Creed, a quickset hedge, i.e. consisting of slips of living privet, thorn (NB. In Northern Europe, quick-thorn refers to the tree hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna), that is commonly used for hedging purposes) etc., the quick, the tender parts of the flesh under hard skin or particularly under the nail. The joke

"There are two types of pedestrians in Dublin, the quick and the dead"

puns on the two meanings of quick.

The phrase quick with child means pregnant and the quickening is the moment a pregnant mother first feels the child move.

From the sense of having full vigour, living or lively qualities or movements, the word got its chief current meaning of possessing rapidity or speed of movement, mental or physical. It is thus used in the names of things which are in a constant or easily aroused condition of movement, e.g. quicksand, loose water-logged sand, readily yielding to weight or pressure, and quicksilver, the common name of the metal mercury.
