Editing Quadroon (section)

==Etymology==
The word ''quadroon'' was borrowed from the French ''quarteron'' and the Spanish ''cuarterón'', both of which have their root in the Latin ''quartus'', meaning "a quarter".

Similarly, the Spanish [[cognate]] ''cuarterón'' is used to describe ''cuarterón de mulato'' or ''morisco'' (someone whose racial origin is three-quarters white and one-quarter black) and ''cuarterón de mestizo'' or ''[[castizo]]'', (someone whose racial origin is three-quarters white and one-quarter [[Amerindian]]), especially in [[Caribbean South America]].<ref>{{cite web | title=cuarterón, cuarterona | website=«Diccionario de la lengua española» - Edición del Tricentenario | url=https://dle.rae.es/cuarter%C3%B3n | language=es | access-date=April 6, 2024}}</ref>
