high speed of movement or action

The state of happening or moving very fast.

نمط الاستخدام: the rapidity of [something]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes use *rapidity* where *rapid* or *fast* is correct. *Rapidity* is a noun, so say "the rapidity of the train" or "its rapidity," not "the train is rapidity." Learners also often forget the article and preposition: the natural pattern is "the rapidity of [something]."

quickness of thought or reaction

The state of thinking or answering very fast.

نمط الاستخدام: the rapidity of [someone’s] [thought/response]
خطأ شائع:
Learners may confuse this sense with physical speed. When used with words like "thought," "response," or "decision," it refers to mental quickness, not movement. They also sometimes say "a rapidity answer" instead of "the rapidity of her answer"; remember that *rapidity* is a noun and needs a structure like "the rapidity of [something]."
المرادفات
quickness (Very close in meaning, but more common and less formal than "rapidity".) | mental agility (Emphasizes flexible and clever thinking, not just speed.) | swiftness (Formal word for speed; can be used for actions or decisions, not only thoughts.)
الأضداد
sluggishness (Suggests slow, heavy, or lazy thinking or reaction.) | slowness (General opposite, focusing on low speed of thought or response.)
