Rapid repair is only temporary (5-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

quick fix

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'only temporary' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'rapid repair' is the wordplay.
'rapid' becomes 'quick' (synonyms).
'repair' becomes 'fix' (synonyms).
'quick'+'fix'='QUICK-FIX'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for quick fix that I've seen before include "Expedient" , "temporary solution" , "no lasting cure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
