The term is used because some things are canonically different than how they actually are able to be reproduced in-game.

Characters teleport to and from places they are not seeing, nor visible to, and appear instantly. I'm not seeing how this is rapid movement, honestly. And I have witnessed, as I said both here, and in another debate with you, the fact there isn't direct line of sight needed for the NPCs to appear at their destination.

Also, if we're quoting the book, on page 64, when Corvo Blinks, he sees a spot, closes his eyes, feels a "wind that didn't exist in his world" then opens his eyes again. He is now at his destination without ever having used 'rapid movement', nor does he describe it as such.
