In Revelation, the Greek word for "
quickly" when through Latin and eventually became "
shortly". One explanation goes as follows.
The Greek word "
ταχύς" for "
quickly" and, depending on context, could sometimes mean "
soon" was translated to the Latin word "cito" which could mean "
quickly" or "
soon", more so than the Greek. Other languages used this idea to use the word "
soon" rather than "
quickly".
