Etymology

The word 'quoted' is derived from the Latin verb 'quotare', which means 'to mark' or 'to allot'. The term originally referred to assigning a specific amount or quota. Over time, it evolved in Middle English to refer to the act of repeating or reciting someone else's words verbatim. Its usage in the context of citing passages or phrases from texts became more common in the 19th century, reflecting the growing importance of documentation and intellectual property rights in literature and academia. Today, 'quoted' is widely used in various fields, including law, journalism, and literature, to denote the attribution of statements or text to their original authors.
