quotityn.

Brit.

/ˈkwɒtᵻti/, U.S.

/ˈkwɑdədi/

Forms: 1600s quotitie, 1600s– quotity.

Origin: Probably of multiple origins. Probably partly a borrowing from French. Probably partly a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: French quotité ; Latin quot , quotus , -ity suffix.

Etymology: Probably partly < French quotité proportion (1473 in Middle French; now chiefly in legal contexts; < quote quote n.¹ + -ité -ity suffix, after quantité quantity n.), and partly < either classical Latin quot how many (see quota n.) or classical Latin quotus of what number or amount (see quota n.) + -ity suffix. Compare post-classical Latin quotitas number (a1457). Compare quantity n., and (with sense 1) quotum n.

†1. A proportion; = quotum n. Obsolete.

1653 R. Balam Algebra To Rdr. sig. A2^v It seemes probable to me, that Quantity is not the true Genus of Number: but that Measure and Number, Magnitude and Multitude, Quantity and Quotity, are two distinct species of one common Genus..which..I am forced to call Numeration.

According to this interpretation, therefore, ‘Ratio is a certain mutual habitude of two homogeneous magnitudes with respect to quotity, or numerical composition’.

1972 Brit. Jrnl. Philos. Sci. 23 197 Our intuition is dimmed by an unfortunate tradition of talking in logic about quantity and quantifiers where it would be more appropriate to talk of quotity and quotifers.
