Pick up very quickly (4)
I believe the answer is:
grab
'pick up' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grab that I've seen before include "'Seize, snatch (4)'" , "Brag about seizure" , "Seize roughly" , "Impress" , "interest" .)
