The word "quart" derives from the Old French quarte, meaning "a fourth part," which in turn comes from the Latin quarta (pars), meaning "fourth (part)." This reflects its original measurement as one-fourth of a gallon. The Latin root quartus (fourth) is also seen in words like "quarter" and "quartet." The term entered Middle English in the 14th century, retaining its fractional meaning in both liquid and dry measurements.
