In a sentence: I quit playing when it got too dark outside.
The part people get wrong
Often misspelled as quitt or quitte.
Same family: quits, quitting, quit (past tense), give up, resign. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: Quit comes from Old French 'quiter', meaning to leave or set free, which is also related to the word 'quiet'. That’s why quitting something can sometimes mean freeing yourself from stress.
