Etymology
The word 'look' can be traced back to the Old English word 'lōcian', meaning 'to see, behold'. The addition of 'quickly' as an adverb to 'look' emphasizes the speed or haste with which the action is performed. Over time, 'look quickly' has become a common expression in the English language to describe a swift or hasty action of gazing or observing.
