quit-rentn.

Brit.

/ˈkwɪtrɛnt/, U.S.

/ˈkwɪtˌrɛnt/

Forms: see quit adj. and rent n.¹

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; probably modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: quit adj., rent n.¹

Etymology: < quit adj. + rent n.¹, probably after Anglo-Norman quiterente (a1334). Compare post-classical Latin quietus redditus (frequently from 12th cent. in British sources).

a. A (usually small) rent paid by a freeholder or copyholder in lieu of services which might otherwise be required; a nominal rent paid (esp. in former British colonial territories to the Crown) as an acknowledgement of tenure. Now chiefly historical.
