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.
Thank you so much, Torsten
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.
Thank you so much, NearlyNapping
