quickliest

English

Adverb

quickliest

  1. (rare, literary, dated) superlative form of quickly: most quickly
    • William Wordsworth, Despondency
      Yet, in the very centre of the crowd,
      To keep the secret of a poignant scorn,
      Howe'er to airy Demons suitable,
      Of all unsocial courses, is least fit
      For the gross spirit of mankind, — the one
      That soonest fails to please, and quickliest turns
      Into vexation.
