[Etymology]
Recorded since 1387 "to mark (a book) with chapter numbers or marginal references", from Old French coter, from Medieval Latin quotare "to distinguish by numbers, number chapters", itself from Latin quotus "which, what number (in sequence)," from quot "how many" (related to quis "who"). The sense developed via "to give as a reference, to cite as an authority" to "to copy out exact words" (since 1680); the business sense "to state the price of a commodity" (1866) revives the etymological meaning. The noun, in the sense of "quotation," is attested from 1885; see also usage note, below.

fright
[[English]]
ipa :/fɹaɪt/[Etymology]
From Middle English fright, furht, from Old English fryhtu, fyrhto (“fright, fear, dread, trembling, horrible sight”), from Proto-Germanic *furhtīn (“fear”), from Proto-Indo-European *perg- (“to frighten; fear”). Cognate with Scots fricht (“fright”), Old Frisian fruchte (“fright”), Gothic (faúrhtei, “fear, horror, fright”). Also related to Low German frucht (“fright”), German Furcht (“fear, fright”), Danish frygt (“fear”), Swedish fruktan (“fear, fright, dread”). Albanian frikë (“fear, fright, dread, danger”) and Romanian frǐca (“fear, fright, dread”) are also cognates, although probably influenced by an early Germanic variant.
