 Quintal (unit of mass) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The quintal or centner is a historical unit of mass with many different definitions in different countries, but usually it is 100 base units of mass, e.g.
Both terms share their roots in the Classical Latin centenarius, meaning hundredlike, but the quintal has a convoluted etymology: It became Late Latin centenarium pondus, then in succession, Late Greek, kentenarion, Arabic, qintar, Mediæval Latin, quintale, and finally Old French quintal before passing into the English language.
In English both, quintal and centner, were once alternate names for the hundredweight and thus defined either as 100 lb (exactly 45.359 237 kg) or as 112 lb (about 50.84 kg).
