QUOTA

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 764 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
QUOTA , a proportional share or
part
  that is due from or to any person or
body
  of persons, in Med. Lat. quota, sc. pars, from quotus, an
adjective
  formed from quot, how many. The word first appears in connexion with the levying of men, money or supplies for military and
naval
  purposes from districts, towns or seaports, and thus is equivalent to " contingent " (Lat. contingere, to happen to, fall to one's lot or share, cum, with, and tangere, to
touch
 ), used since the 18th
century
  specific-ally of a contribution of men or
ships
  according to a
scale
  fixed between the contracting parties.
