expedite
意味: To make a process or action happen more quickly or efficiently, especially by removing obstacles or cutting through bureaucratic delays.
Expedite is firmly formal and belongs to the register of official correspondence, legal proceedings, and business communication. It implies not just speed but the active removal of impediments. Common collocations include 'expedite the process,' 'expedite delivery,' and 'expedite the matter.' It is rarely used in casual speech, where 'speed up' or 'hurry along' serve the same purpose. The noun form 'expedition' in its rare sense of promptness is largely archaic.
