Thread Name: BS: Why is the British pound called a quid?
Subject: RE: BS: Why is the British pound called a quid?
"'Quid' however is Latin for, among various other meanings, 'how much', so something along those lines seems a likely enough origin" .,,. Surely 'quid?' is Latin for 'what?'. 'Quod' is Latin for 'how much?'.
