What does "rapture" mean? Was the word "rapture" taken from or used to describe the phrase "caught up"?

1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Does the expression "caught up" imply a quick event or a delayed process?
