Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro From Middle English qualite, from Old French qualité, from Latin quālitās, quālitātem, from quālis (of what kind), from Proto-Indo-European *kʷo- (who, how). Cicero coined qualitas as a calque to translate the word ποιότης (quality), coined by Plato from ποῖος (of what nature, of what kind).
