facilitate. To quicken, in the sense here considered, is to increase speed, move or cause to move more rapidly, as through more space or with, a greater number of motions in the same time. To accelerate is to increase the speed of action or of motion. A motion whose speed increases upon itself is said to be accelerated, as the motion of a falling body, which becomes swifter with every second of time.
Fiddlehead sculpture at the Saint John Arts Centre by sculptor Jim Boyd in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.Fiddleheads or fiddlehead greens are the furled fronds of a young fern, harvested for use as a vegetable.Left on the plant, each fiddlehead would unroll into a new frond (circinate vernation).See bracken poisoning). The fiddlehead resembles the curled ornamentation (called a scroll) on the end of a stringed instrument, such as a violin. It is also called a crozier, after the curved staff used by bishops, which has its origins in the shepherd's crook.
Due to the properties and desired sound, fiddlers often choose steel strings (which produce a brighter tone) for their instruments, versus gut or synthetic core strings (which produce a deeper tone). Fiddle is also a common term among musicians who play folk music on the violin. The fiddle is part of many traditional (folk) styles of music which are aural traditions, taught 'by ear' rather than via written music.
