Etymology
Instantly comes from the word instant, which goes back to Latin parts in- ('on' or 'upon') and stare ('to stand'), and is like the English stand. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine the moment 'standing on' you, pressing right now, so instantly means 'without any delay' or 'at once'.
