About

The word 尽快 is formed by combining the character 尽, meaning "to the utmost" or "to exhaust", with the character 快, meaning "fast" or "quick". This creates a compound where the first character acts as an adverbial intensifier for the second, conceptually yielding the meaning of "reaching the utmost point of speed" or "to the greatest possible degree of quickness". It is a logical, meaning-driven fusion where one element modifies and amplifies the core concept of the other.
