"etymology_text": "Attested since the 1780s, of unknown origin.\n* The Century Dictionary suggests it was originally applied to a popular toy, from a dialectal variant of whiz.\n* The Random House Dictionary suggests the original sense was \"odd person\" (circa 1780).\n* Others suggest the meaning \"hoax\" was original (1796), shifting to the meaning \"interrogate\" (1847) under the influence of question and inquisitive.\n* Some say without evidence it was invented by a late-18th-century Dublin theatre proprietor who bet he could add a new nonsense word to the English language; he had the word painted on walls all over the city, and the morning after, everyone was talking about it (The Pre-Victorian Drama in Dublin).\n* Others suggest it was originally quies (1847), Latin qui es? (who are you?), traditionally the first question in oral Latin exams. They suggest that it was first used as a noun from 1867, and the spelling quiz first recorded in 1886, but this is demonstrably incorrect.\n* A further derivation, assuming that the original sense is \"good, ingenuous, harmless man, overly conventional, pedantic, rule-bound man, square; nerd; oddball, eccentric\", is based on a column from 1785 which claims that the origin is a jocular translation of the Horace quotation vir bonus est quis as \"the good man is a quiz\" at Cambridge.",

(who are you?), traditionally the first question in oral Latin exams. They suggest that it was first used as a noun from 1867, and the spelling quiz first recorded in 1886, but this is demonstrably incorrect.\n* A further derivation, assuming that the original sense is \"good, ingenuous, harmless man, overly conventional, pedantic, rule-bound man, square; nerd; oddball, eccentric\", is based on a column from 1785 which claims that the origin is a jocular translation of the Horace quotation vir bonus est quis as \"the good man is a quiz\" at Cambridge.",

"etymology_text": "Attested since the 1780s, of unknown origin.\n* The Century Dictionary suggests it was originally applied to a popular toy, from a dialectal variant of whiz.\n* The Random House Dictionary suggests the original sense was \"odd person\" (circa 1780).\n* Others suggest the meaning \"hoax\" was original (1796), shifting to the meaning \"interrogate\" (1847) under the influence of question and inquisitive.\n* Some say without evidence it was invented by a late-18th-century Dublin theatre proprietor who bet he could add a new nonsense word to the English language; he had the word painted on walls all over the city, and the morning after, everyone was talking about it (The Pre-Victorian Drama in Dublin).\n* Others suggest it was originally quies (1847), Latin qui es? (who are you?), traditionally the first question in oral Latin exams. They suggest that it was first used as a noun from 1867, and the spelling quiz first recorded in 1886, but this is demonstrably incorrect.\n* A further derivation, assuming that the original sense is \"good, ingenuous, harmless man, overly conventional, pedantic, rule-bound man, square; nerd; oddball, eccentric\", is based on a column from 1785 which claims that the origin is a jocular translation of the Horace quotation vir bonus est quis as \"the good man is a quiz\" at Cambridge.",
