Forms: also occasionally with capital initial.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin quīnque , centenary adj. and n.

Etymology: Irregularly < quin- (in classical Latin quīnque five: see quinque- comb. form) + centenary adj. and n. Compare later quingentenary adj., quingentenary n.
