quaternionn.adj.

Brit.

/kwəˈtəːnɪən/, U.S.

/kwəˈtərniən/,

/kwɑˈtɛrniən/

Forms: Middle English quaternyoun, Middle English– quaternion.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin quaternion-, quaternio.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin quaternion-, quaternio squad of four soldiers (Vulgate), gathering of four leaves of parchment, quire (4th cent.; from 8th cent. in British sources), the number four (5th cent.) < classical Latin quaternī four each (see quatern adj.) + -ō (see -oon suffix). Compare Middle French quaternion set of four (1537; compare Old French quaregnon, caregnon a sheet of paper folded twice, a letter (12th cent.)).In sense A. 2 ultimately after Hellenistic Greek τετρακτύς tetractys n. With sense A. 3 compare earlier quatern n. Compare apparent earlier borrowing of post-classical Latin quaternio (specific sense unclear) into Old English as quatern, although the two glossarial attestations may perhaps represent a scribal error for classical Latin quaternī (compare the reading in Erfurt Gloss.):eOE Épinal Gloss. (1974) 45 Quaternio, quatern [eOE Erfurt Gloss. Quaternio, quaterni].eOE Corpus Gloss. (1890) 99/2 Quaternio, quatern.

A. n.

a. A group or set of four persons or things. In quot. c1384: apparently understood as a Roman officer in charge of four soldiers.
