/ˈkwatrɪn/, U.S.

/ˈkwætrən/

Forms:

α. late Middle English katereyn, late Middle English kateryne, 1500s katerin, 1500s kateryn.

β. 1500s quatrina.

γ. 1500s–1600s quatrine, 1600s quatryne, 1600s– quatrin.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Italian. Etymons: French quatrin; Italian quattrino.

Etymology: < (i) Middle French, French quatrin Italian coin of small value (a1444 or earlier (see note); compare also the use in phrases such as je n'ai pas un quatrin I don't have any money (1690; compare quots. 1888, 1942)), and its etymon (ii) Italian quattrino small coin of low value, originally worth four four denari (a1348), small change, smallest amount of money (a1584) < quattro (see quatre n.) + -ino -ine suffix¹. Compare quattrino n., quadrine n.¹Compare also Old French quatrin (1253) in an isolated early use with reference to a native French coin (probably a parallel but independent formation < quatre (see quatre n.) + -in -ine suffix¹). The α. forms could simply show an epenthetic vowel, or could be by association with the female personal name Kateryne, Katereyn.

Now historical.

= quattrino n.; a small copper coin. Cf. quadrine n.¹
