Word origin

The term 'quickie' originated in American English in the mid-20th century, combining the word 'quick' with the diminutive suffix '-ie' to evoke something smaller or lesser. The word 'quick' itself comes from the Old English 'cwic,' meaning 'alive' or 'living,' which evolved to signify speed or swiftness. Initially, 'quickie' was used informally to describe any quick action but gradually became more associated with brief sexual experiences. Over time, its usage expanded to include any short or hasty task or activity, reflecting the fast-paced nature of modern life.
