Etymology
In summary
Probably a semi-learned derivation from Medieval Latin quitāre (“release, discharge, set free”) from Late Latin quietāre, or from Latin quietus (through an Old Spanish adjective quito, with an abnormal phonological evolution). Compare English quiet and quit and French quitter. See also Spanish quedar and quietar.
