quote

Etymology
From, , from , from , itself from , from and related to. The sense developed via “to give as a reference, to cite as an authority” to “to copy out exact words” (since 1680); the business sense “to state the price of a commodity” (1866) revives the etymological meaning. The noun, in the sense of “quotation,” is attested from 1885; see also usage note, below.

Noun

 * 1) A quotation; a statement attributed to a person.
 * 2) A quotation mark.
 * 3) A summary of work to be done with a set price.
 * After going over the hefty quotes, the board decided it was cheaper to have the project executed by its own staff.
 * 1) A price set for a financial security or commodity.

Usage notes
Until the late 19th century, quote was exclusively used as a verb. Since then, it has been used as a shortened form of both quotation and quotation mark; see etymology, above. This use as a noun is well understood and widely used, although it is often rejected in formal and academic contexts.
