Quickly getting stuck? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fast

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'quickly' is the first definition.
(I know that quickly can be written as fast)

'stuck' is the second definition.
(both can mean secure)

'getting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for fast that I've seen before include "Period without food" , "Rapidly; tight" , "Quick - don't eat" , "Maybe bound to spot" , "Firm < moving rapidly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Telegraph.
