Done very quickly and efficiently without unnecessary delays.
From Latin 'expeditus' (unimpeded, ready), the past participle of 'expedire.' The '-ous' suffix means 'full of' or 'having the quality of,' so it literally means 'having the quality of being unimpeded.'
Expeditious became a favorite word of lawyers, judges, and military commanders because it sounds formal and impressive while meaning something simple: 'fast and organized.' It's the fancy version of 'get it done!'
