Thank you for this piece of information. I honestly never knew the origins of the word but intend to take what I have learned here and educate others when the opportunity arises. I honestly really like this piece.. Do you often write educational articles such as this one? I like things like this and go crazy for knowledge especially when it pertains to origins of words that we use often and nobody can deny that quarantine has become an everyday word... unfortunately... Whelp take care and keep up the great work!
