Etymology
Interquartile breaks into inter- meaning 'between' and quartile related to the common word 'quarter', which means 'one fourth'. So, interquartile names the part of a list of numbers that lies 'between' the first and third quarters, and that is why the interquartile range measures the middle spread of data.
