Origin

Late Middle English: from medieval Latin quotare, from quot 'how many', or from medieval Latin quota (see quota). The original sense was 'mark a book with numbers, or with marginal references', later 'give a reference by page or chapter', hence 'cite a text or person' (late 16th century).

This comes from medieval Latin quotare, from quot ‘how many’, source also of LME quota. The original sense was ‘mark a book with numbers, or with marginal references’; later it came to mean ‘give a reference by page or chapter’ which led in the late 16th century to ‘cite a text or person’. Quotation (apart from a rare appearance in Middle English meaning ‘a numbering’) dates from the mid 16th century when it was ‘a marginal reference to a passage of text’. Quotient for the result of dividing one quantity by another comes from Latin quotiens ‘how many times’, from quot.
