Though not in the best of physical form, he was capable of moving with celerity. --Malachy McCourt, [1]A Monk Swimming: A Memoir Furthermore, as is well known, computer technology grows obsolete with amazing celerity. --Alan S. Blinder and Richard E. Quandt, "The Computer and the Economy," [2]The Atlantic, December 1997 The lightning celerity of his thought processes took you on a kind of helter-skelter ride of surreal non-sequiturs, sudden accesses of emotion and ribald asides, made all the more bizarre for being uttered in those honeyed tones by the impeccably elegant gent before you. --"A life full of frolics," [3]The Guardian, May 19, 2001 _________________________________________________________ Celerity is from Latin celeritas, from celer, "swift." It is related to accelerate.
