Old neuter plural accusative case of quis, from Proto-Indo-European*kʷih₂. Corresponds both formally and functionally to Megara Ancient Greekσᾰ́(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.
