* The word "presto" is typically an interjection, like "Voila!" Nonstandard sentence construction is common, but not consistent, It can also be a musical term "The passage is typically played presto."

In music presto means at a very fast tempo. It is from the Italian for quickly.

Presto is used colloquially as an interjection to emphasis how suddenly something happens, as if in an instant especially by, and popularized by, stage magicians or prestidigitators.

Prestidigitator is a coined or made up word, partly based on a similar Latin word for a juggler, influenced by the Italian presto for quick and digit meaning finger.
