Etymology

Uncertain, perhaps from Latin queror (“to complain”) through the form, though the phonetic and semantic developments are difficult to trace; alternatively, a variant of quirritāre (“to squeal like a pig”), from *quis, an onomatopoeic rendition of squeaking. An ancient folk etymology understood it as "to call for the help of the Quirites," the Roman constabulary. Compare the Frankish *krītan (“to cry out, scream, proclaim”).
