1、quit 是 quiet（安静）的亲戚：拉丁 quietus「不受打扰」→ 脱身、了结 → 不干了。画面：把缠身的事甩掉，图个清静。
2、同族：acquit 宣告无罪、免除（ac- 加强 + quit，法律词）、requite 报答、回报、quite（相当、完全）——quite 就是 quit 加了个 e，意思完全岔开。
3、易错：quit 后必须接动名词（quit smoking 戒烟，不说 quit to smoke）；过去式通常仍是 quit（英式也见 quitted），现在分词双写 t：quitting；quitting time 下班时刻。辨析 stop（停下，可能还回来）对 quit（彻底不干）；leave（离开某地）对 quit（甩掉麻烦的人或差事）。

英语词源
- quit

quit: [13] Quit comes from the same ultimate source as quiet – Latin quiētus. This originally meant simply ‘quiet, calm’, but in medieval Latin it developed a wider range of senses, including ‘unharmed’ and ‘free’. From it was derived the verb quiētāre ‘set free, discharge’, which reached English via Old French quiter. The derived forms acquit and requite [16] come from the same source, and quite is essentially the same word as quit.
=> quiet - quit (v.)
- c. 1200, "to repay, discharge" (a debt, etc.), from Old French quiter "clear, establish one's innocence;" also transitive, "release, let go, relinquish, abandon" (12c.), from quite (see quit (adj.)).
Meaning "to reward, give reward" is mid-13c., that of "take revenge; to answer, retort" and "to acquit oneself" are late 14c. From c. 1300 as "to acquit (of a charge), declare not guilty." Sense of "leave, depart" is attested from c. 1400; that of "stop" (doing something) is from 1640s. Meaning "to give up, relinquish" is from mid-15c. Related: Quitted; quitting. Quitting time is from 1835. - quit (adj.)
- c. 1200, "free, clear" (of debt, etc.), from Old French quite, quitte "free, clear, entire, at liberty; discharged; unmarried," from Medieval Latin quitus, quittus, from Latin quietus "free" (in Medieval Latin "free from war, debts, etc."), also "calm, resting" (see quiet (adj.)).
