Quart

Quart (/kwɔːrt/), from the French quart meaning a fourth, is a unit of volume equivalent to one fourth of a gallon. It is used in both the Imperial system and the United States customary units. There are two types of quarts in the US system: the liquid quart and the dry quart, which are not the same.

Etymology

The term quart originates from the Old French quart which is derived from the Latin quartus, meaning fourth. This is because a quart is a fourth of a gallon.
