quote
From
Middle English
quoten
coten
to mark (a book) with chapter numbers or marginal references
, from
Old French
coter
, from
Medieval Latin
quotāre
to distinguish by numbers, number chapters
, itself from
Latin
quotus
which, what number (in sequence)
, from
quot
how many
and related to
quis
who
. The sense developed via “to give as a reference, to cite as an authority” to “to copy out exact words” (since 1680); the business sense “to state the price of a commodity” (1866) revives the etymological meaning. The noun, in the sense of “quotation,” is attested from 1885; see also
usage note
, below.

Usage notes
edit
Until the late 19th century,
quote
was exclusively used as a verb. Since then, it has been used as a shortened form of both
quotation
and
quotation mark
; see
etymology
, above. This use as a noun is well understood and widely used, although it is often rejected in formal and academic contexts.
