Definition
Happening or completed in an extremely short time, so fast that it seems to happen at once.
Etymology
From Late Latin 'instantaneus' meaning 'immediate', from 'instans' (present, pressing). The English suffix '-ous' was added to form the adjective.
Kelly Says
We call some things instantaneous, but physics reminds us that even ‘instant’ actions still take tiny slices of time. The word shows how human perception often compresses very fast events into a single mental moment.
