| Dec 30, 2012 at 20:45 | comment | added | James Waldby - jwpat7 | @MετάEd, I've added a separate question re quid itself. | |
| Dec 30, 2012 at 20:40 | comment | added | MetaEd | Yes, origin uncertain, which is why I wrote "is widely believed" and posted as a comment. But a lot of people do believe "quid" (pound) came from "quid pro quo". | |
| Dec 30, 2012 at 20:29 | comment | added | spiceyokooko | @MετάEd OED says origin uncertain. The term quid is very much in use in the UK, Aus and Nz as colloquial for a pound in the same way buck is for a dollar. | |
| Dec 30, 2012 at 20:24 | comment | added | MetaEd | "Quid" (money) is widely believed to derive from "quid pro quo" anyway. | |
