Etymology of QUOINED

The word "quoined" does not have a specific etymology as it is a derivative form of the verb "coin". However, the word "coin" itself comes from the Old French word "coign" meaning "wedge" or "corner". This originates from the Latin word "cuneus" which also means "wedge". Over time, the meaning of "coin" expanded to include the action of creating or inventing something, particularly in the context of currency. Therefore, "quoined" would simply be the past tense form of "coin", indicating the act of creating or inventing something.
