Origin:
The use of "quarter" in the sense of one-fourth can be traced back to ancient Roman times, where the Roman army was divided into four parts, each known as a "quarta" (fourth).
The term was later adopted into English during the Middle Ages and has been used to denote a fourth part of various things, including coins, circles, and time periods.
The term "quarter" in the sense of a region or district originated as a reference to the four quarters of a circle and was later extended to mean any designated area.
