Etymology

First attested in verbal use in 1812, in adjectival use in 1851, and in nominal use in 1889; from the Classical Latin qu?ntus (“fifth”); in the verbal sense after decimate, and in the botanic senses by mistaken analogy with ternate.

Verb

quintate (present participle quintating)

1. (obsolete, rare) Seize or destroy one fifth (of something).
   • 1812, Emanuel Swedenborg [aut.] and J. Clowes [tr.], Arcana Cœlestia VII (2nd ed.), chapter xli, pages 210?¹? and 270?²?

     ?¹? Let Pharaoh…quintate^? the land of Egypt in the seven years of abundance of provision.

     ? Quintate signifies to take a fifth of any thing, and is derived from the Latin quintus, signifying a fifth, as decimate is derived from decimus, signifying a tenth.

     ?²? “And let him quintate the land”?—?that hereby is signified which were to be preserved and afterwards stored up, appears from the signification of quintating, as here involving the like with decimating.
