"たちまち" meaning in All languages combined

Adverb [Japanese]

IPA: [ta̠t͡ɕima̠t͡ɕi] Forms: tachimachi [romanization]
Etymology: From Old Japanese. First cited to the Man'yōshū of 759. Apparently a shift from 立ち待ち (tachimachi, “standing and waiting”), the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of compound verb 立ち待つ (tachimatsu, “to wait while standing”), probably from the idea of being at the ready. In older texts, this was always followed by the adverbial particle に (ni) for all senses.
