"quia" meaning in Latin

See quia in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Conjunction

IPA: /ˈkʷi.a/ [Classical], [ˈkʷiä] [Classical], /ˈkwi.a/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈkwiːä] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Old neuter plural accusative case of quis, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷih₂. Corresponds both formally and functionally to Megara Ancient Greek σᾰ́ (sá, “what?”), and functionally to ὅτι (hóti); this and other evidence point to the Greek origin of the use of quia as a subordinator, in contrast to quod where there's stronger evidence for a native development.
