About This Root
From Latin quot (how many, as many as) and quotus (which in number, the how-many-th), with the cognate quantus (how great, how much). All trace to the PIE interrogative stem *kʷo- (who, what). The quot branch gives quote and quotation (originally 'to mark by chapter number,' then 'to cite'), quota (an assigned number), and quotidian (daily). The quantus branch gives quantity and quantum.
