"ready oxidation" -what does the "ready" mean?

[genekuli]

from a paper:

"While the redox properties of iron bound to Ins(1,2,3)P3 have not been studied, we observed in our potentiometric runs that Fe2+ in the presence of Ins(1,2,3)P3 and at pH 7 or above underwent ready oxidation (in an inert atmosphere) to Fe3+."

of course i can guess/infer from the context what it means but where is the term "ready" in chemistry defined officially?

Nowhere. They could have said “underwent oxidation readily”, which in my view would have been better English. It’s just a qualitative statement about what they observed.
