QUITE
What quite means
To a considerable or fairly large degree; rather or somewhat, though not extremely.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English "quite," borrowed from Old French "quitte," meaning "freed" or "discharged." The Old French term derives from Latin "quietus," the past participle of "quiescere," meaning "to rest" or "to be still." Originally used to mean "completely free from" or "absolved," the word gradually shifted to mean "completely" or "entirely" in general use, and eventually came to express a moderate degree of something in modern English.
