etymology of
wiki?

Ward Cunningham
WikiWikiWeb (1994)

The Etymology of Wiki

Wiki wiki is the first Hawai'ian term I learned on my first visit to the
islands. The airport counter agent directed me to take the wiki wiki
bus between terminals. I said what? He explained that wiki wiki
meant quick. I was to find the quick bus. I did pick up a book about
the language before my return home. I learned many things from
this but wiki wiki is the word that sticks the most. (Cunningham,
2003)
