Etymology
A helpful way to remember fast meaning 'immoral' is to think of someone who lives 'fast' as holding tightly to quick pleasure and risky behaviour; in older books this word described people who broke social rules by living boldly. This connection helps explain why 'living fast' means choosing pleasure over restraint.
