Quart
The quart〔 The term comes from the Latin ''quartus'' (meaning one-quarter) via the French ''quart''. However, although the French word ''quart'' has the same root, it frequently means something entirely different. In Canadian French in particular, the quart is called ''pinte'' whilst the pint is called ''chopine''.〕 is a unit of volume (for either the imperial or United States customary units) equal to a quarter of a gallon (hence the name ''quart''), two pints, or four cups. Since gallons of various sizes have historically been in use, quarts of various sizes have also existed; see gallon for further discussion. Three of these kinds of quarts remain in current use, all approximately equal to one litre. Its proper abbreviation is ''qt.''〔Daily Language Review - 6th grade level〕 ==Definitions and equivalencies==
