How these synonyms differ

quick - 'Quick' often implies brevity rather than raw speed, a quick glance, a quick decision. 'Fast' is about sustained velocity.
rapid - 'Rapid' leans formal or technical, rapid growth, rapid response, and suggests things escalating quickly.
speedy - 'Speedy' is casual and often used for service or delivery, it promises quickness without implying recklessness.
swift - 'Swift' carries elegance and decisiveness. A swift reaction is not just fast but smooth and clean.
