The adverb ταχέως (tacheos) means 'quickly,' 'speedily,' or 'soon,' carrying both a positive sense of urgency and a cautionary sense of rashness depending on context. When Jesus tells the servant to go out 'quickly' into the streets (Luke 14:21), the word conveys divine urgency. But when Paul marvels that the Galatians are 'so quickly' deserting the gospel (Gal 1:6), the speed is alarming. Similarly, Paul warns Timothy not to lay hands on anyone 'hastily' (1 Tim 5:22). The same root yields the comparative tachion and superlative tachista. Spanish 'pronto/rápidamente' and French 'vite/rapidement' cover both nuances.
