QUAY

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 724 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
QUAY , a wharf or landing-
place
  for the loading and unloading of water-borne cargo. The word, now pronounced like " key,"takes the form of Fr. quai, older cay or caye, cf. Spanish cayo, a bar, barrier or
reef
 . The earlier form in
English
  is " kay," and it was so pronounced. " Key " was also earlier pronounced " kay," and the
change
  in pronunciation in the one was followed also in the other. In spelling also the word was assimilated to " key," in the sense of a
reef
 , or, especially, of the low range of reefs or islets on the coasts of Spanish America,
e.g. on the
coast
  of
Florida
 , the
chain
  of islets known as'
Florida
  Keys.
