Etymology of Quarrels

Quarrels are a type of linguistic anomaly, often used to describe the art of argumentation. Etymologists have traced the term back to the Middle English phrase "quarrely", meaning "to argue fiercely".

However, some etymologists argue that this etymology is false, and that the true origins of the word lie in a forgotten dialect of ancient Rome.
