Word origin
The word 'fleetingly' comes from the verb 'fleet,' which originated from the Middle English word 'fleten' meaning 'to drift' or 'to float.' Over time, 'fleet' evolved to include the meaning of moving swiftly or quickly, leading to the adverb 'fleetingly' to describe something happening briefly or for a short duration.
