Morphology
quadrant = quarter (semi-transparent) = quadr + ant
The meaning corresponds to 'one fourth' (like 'quarter'), but the form is Latin-derived (quadr- + -ant) rather than a productive modern English formation.
Etymology
The word quadrant comes from an old Latin word that means 'a quarter' or 'one fourth', the same root you see in quarter and quadruple. So a quadrant is one of four equal parts of a circle or area.
