覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
quot は独立した一般名詞というより、quote や quotation を短く示す省略形として理解します。辞書・校正記号・古い文献など、文字数を節約する表示で現れやすい形です。quot. を見たら「引用文そのもの」または「quotation の省略」と結び付け、通常の文章では quote や quotation を使うと覚えます。
Treat “quot” as a shortened written label, not as the usual everyday word for a quotation. It may appear where space is limited, such as in notes, reference material, editorial notation, or older texts. Connect its four letters directly with the beginnings of both “quote” and “quotation.” When writing normal English sentences, choose “quote” for the cited words or “quotation” for the act or result of quoting; reserve “quot” for contexts where an established abbreviation is clearly intended.

“Quot” can be understood as an abbreviated form of “quote” or “quotation.” Those words ultimately relate to Medieval Latin “quotare,” meaning to mark chapters or passages with numbers, derived from Latin “quot,” meaning “how many.” Numbering a passage made it possible to identify and cite it precisely, helping the sense develop from marking a location to repeating or citing its words.
