quotidianadj.n. Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French cotidian; Latin cottīdiānus. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Middle French cotidian, cotidien, Middle French quotidian, quotidien (French quotidien ) of or occurring every day, daily (first half of the 12th cent. in Anglo-Norman), (spec. of a fever) characterized by paroxysms recurring at twenty-four-hour intervals (early 13th cent.) and its etymon classical Latin cottīdiānus, cōtīdiānus, quōtīdiānus occurring or employed every day, daily, habitual, regular < cottīdiē , cōtīdiē , quōtīdiē every day, daily ( < an unattested form *quottī (derivative adjective < quot how many: see quota n.) + diē , locative of diēs day (see diurnal adj.), probably via a locative phrase *quottī diē every day) + -ānus -an suffix. Compare Catalan quotidià (13th cent.), Spanish cotidiano (c1150; also †quotidiano), Portuguese cotidiano (13th cent.), Italian quotidiano (a1292 as †cotidiano).The postpositive use of the adjective in sense A. 1a is after Anglo-Norman fevere cotidiane and Middle French fievre cotidiane (early 13th cent. in Old French; French (now rare) fièvre quotidienne ) and their classical Latin model febris cotīdiāna; compare Spanish fiebre cotidiana (late 13th cent.). In sense A. 1b after German quotidian, adjective (1893 in the compound Quotidianparasit in the passage translated in quot. 1894; now only in medical contexts). Sense A. 3 is apparently not paralleled in French until considerably later (1836); with the use as noun in sense B. 3 compare French le quotidien (1836 in this sense). In use as noun in sense B. 1a after Anglo-Norman cotidiane (13th cent. or earlier; French †quotidienne ) and its post-classical Latin model quotidiana quotidian fever (1230–50 in a British source; compare quot. a1398 at sense A. 1a).
