The word "quarreled" comes from the Middle English word "querelen", which in turn derives from the Old French word "quereler". The Old French term developed from the Latin word "quaerere", meaning "to seek, to ask". Over time, this Latin term took on the additional meaning of "to complain, to protest". Thus, "quarreled" originally meant "to complain, to protest" and later evolved to include the meaning of engaging in a verbal dispute or argument.
