Origin of the word snappily

"Snappily" comes from the adjective "snappy," which itself originated from the verb "snap." "Snap" has a long history in the English language, originally meaning to break with a sharp sound. Over time, it developed connotations of quickness and sharpness, leading to "snappy" being used to describe things that were brisk, stylish, or witty. The "-ly" suffix was then added to "snappy" to create the adverb "snappily," which denotes something done in a brisk, energetic, or stylish manner.
