约于1300年,“任何东西的四分之一; 任何东西可以或已经被分成四个相等的部分或分割; ”通常指被宰杀的动物被切成四部分,来自古法语 quartier, cartier(12世纪),源自拉丁语 quartarius “四分之一”,源自 quartus “第四,四分之一”(与 quattuor “四”相关,源自 PIE 词根 *kwetwer- “四”)。英语中最早的日期参考是指“在执行期间被肢解的身体部位”(约于1300年)。
从15世纪初开始用于月相。短语 quarter of an hour 自15世纪中期开始出现。在中古英语中, quarter 也意味着“12小时夜晚的四个部分之一”(14世纪后期), the quarter of the night 意味着“晚上九点钟”(14世纪初期)。作为足球比赛中的一段时间,自1911年起。
从14世纪后期开始,“天空的四个象限之一”; 因此,从风的概念,“一侧,一个方向”(约于1400年)。从14世纪中期开始在纹章学中作为“盾牌或家族徽章的四个部分之一”。
意思是“地区,地点,区域”约于1400年。意思是“城镇的不同部分”(由居住在那里的人的阶级或种族确定)首次出现于1520年代。有关军事意义,请参见 quarters。

Quarter horse,是为在四分之一英里的赛道上比赛而培育的强壮马种,最早记录于1834年。这个词与“四”之间的联系在中古英语中变得松散,到了15世纪,像 six-quartered 这样的表达方式就出现了,意思是“六面的”。
