Etymology of QUADFECTA

The word "quadfecta" is not widely recognized or included in most English dictionaries, so it does not have a standardized etymology. However, it seems to be a play on words combining elements of two separate terms: "quadruple" and "perfecta".

1. "Quadruple" comes from the Latin word "quadruplus", which means "fourfold" or "four times". The Latin term is derived from the combination of "quattuor" (meaning "four") and "plus" (meaning "more"). In English, the term "quadruple" refers to something that is four times the size, amount, or intensity.

2. "Perfecta" is a term used in horse racing and other betting contexts. It originated from the Spanish word "perfecto", meaning "perfect".
