A: Oh, quick! Shut the window before we get wet.
1- Is “quick” an adjective or a verb?
2- Does it mean “hurry”?
Thank you

Good question. I think it is an adjective modifying the subject of the imperative sentence, “you” (implied). It is used to indicate that the subject should act swiftly or with haste.

As used, I think it’s an exclamation (interjection).
It’s related to ‘wow’, ‘oops’, ‘woops’ or ‘OK’.
Adverb:
Quickly close the window.
Adjective:
The quick brown fox…
There is even a noun form. (referring to people or animals)
In nature, the quick will survive.
