'Quicker' means faster than something else; it’s a comparative term. If one runner is 'quicker' than another, they run at a higher speed. Think of two computers loading a webpage; the one that loads faster is 'quicker.' It implies a difference in speed. It's not the absolute fastest, just faster than something else being compared. It also implies a shorter duration.
'Quicker' is the comparative form of the adjective 'quick.' 'Quick' comes from the Old English word 'cwic,' meaning living or alive. Over time, it evolved to mean rapid or prompt. The addition of '-er' creates a comparative form, indicating a greater degree of quickness.
