Do you think that "quidditch" (in the Harry Potter books) also has its root in the Latin "quid"? (e.g.WHAT is this game all about??) And what about the slang term for a pound, both in Britain and Australia, pre decimal? A pound was a quid - also used in such phrases as "I wouldn't be in his shoes for quids".
