These common questions from IQ tests put their intelligence to the test. How do you cut off? (Part 18)
Where does the term “quiz” come from?
The word “quiz” comes from English. There are different theories about the exact origin of the word. A rather unlikely theory goes back to the Irish theater director Richard Daly. This is said to have bet of being able to add a new word to the English language and invented the word “quiz”.
Another theory assumes that the concept of the Latin question “quis it?” (In German: “Who are you?”). The most common theory says that “Quiz” is an abbreviation of the English word “Question” (in German: “question”).
