Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Coined in the 20th century as a back-formation from 'quorum', derived from the Latin phrase 'quorum [uos 'of whom you']', which was the first word of commissioning clauses in medieval English legal documents. It transitioned from procedural parliamentary jargon into standard administrative English to describe a gathering legally or constitutionally competent to transact business.
