Etymology
The word quantile comes from the Latin root quant- meaning 'how much' or 'amount' and the ending -ile that turns it into a thing name. Think of words like quantity and quantify; a quantile is a point that divides data into equal 'amount' groups, so it shows where values fall in a set of numbers.
