Answer 2

If you called someone a Quiz in the late eighteenth century. It amounted to them (c) belittling.

• The word quiz has several origins but one of its most common occurrences comes from the Latin word 'qui' which translates to 'who are you?'.
• The word 'quiz' as we know it was used to describe someone with an eccentric personality or something that was eccentric in nature. It was later used to make fun of someone or to mock someone. Hence when you used to use the word 'quiz' in the eighteenth century it would seem as though you were belittling them.
• By the 19th century, the word was seen as close to something that required a test both in and out of a classroom.
• The word would first be used in print in 1867 according to OED. The definition would then refer to a set of questions used to evaluate a person's knowledge in academic contexts.
