This article appears in Volume V22, Page 712 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
QUARRY . (I) (Through Fr. from med. Lat. quareia for quadraria; quadrare, to square or hew stone), a
place
  from which stones are dug, the
term
  being usually confined to a
place
  where such operation is carried on in the open air, as opposed to a " mine " (see
QUARRYING
 ). (2) (Through O. Fr. cuiree, cuir, skin,
leather
 , Lat. corium; cf. mod. Fr. curee, spoils), properly certain parts of a deer or other beast of
chase
  given as a reward to the hounds and placed upon the hide of the animal, also parts of a bird given similarly to a
hawk
  or falccn. The word is thus applied to the animal hunted or the bird killed by the
hawk
 , and generally to any
object
  of the
chase
 .
