pronto

'quick' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adverbs. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'a professional's not upset' is the wordplay.
'a professional' becomes 'pro' ('pro' can be a synonym of 'professional').
'upset' is an anagram indicator.
'not' is an anagram of 'nto'.
'pro'+'nto'='PRONTO'

'to show' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
