Noun. Atraction, love for speeding. It combines the latin word propero-, meaning to hasten, [accelerate], speed up, move rapidly, come quickly, with the ending -philia, meaning love of/for. [According to] answer.com, "etymology teaches us that speed and success are closely related. The Old English word sp*e*d, from which our word speed is descended, originally meant “prosperity, successful outcome, ability, or quickness.” A corresponding verb, sp*e*dan, in Modern English the verb speed, meant “to succeed, prosper, or achieve a goal”; and an adjective, sp*e*dig, the ancestor of our word speedy, meant “wealthy, powerful.” Except for archaic uses the words today relate only to [the general] sense of “velocity.” The meaning “success” is retained chiefly in the compound Godspeed, a noun formed from the phrase meaning “May God cause you to prosper.”
