Morphology
hindquarters = hindquarter (transparent) = hind + quarter + s
Formed from 'hindquarter' (hind + quarter) with regular plural -s; meaning 'rear parts' directly follows from the components.
Etymology
Hindquarters comes from hind, meaning 'back' or 'rear', and quarter, meaning 'part' (think 'living quarters'). So hindquarters simply means the 'back part' of an animal or person, like the hips and thighs.
