Etymology
The word 'quit' originates from the Old French term 'quitter,' which means 'to release' or 'to set free.' It was adopted into English during the late 14th century, reflecting the idea of freeing oneself from obligations or duties. In Middle English, the meaning evolved to include 'to free oneself from an obligation or duty.' Since then, 'quit' has played a significant role in the English language, adopting various meanings across different contexts, including personal, professional, and social situations. The transition from 'quit' to 'quitted' as the past tense form saw usage increase during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often associated with labor movements where workers exercised their rights to leave unfavorable work environments.
