What does QUOTA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A fixed number or share that must be reached, provided, or not exceeded within a set period.
A quota sets a limit or a target from outside: a daily quota assigned to a factory worker, an import quota imposed by a country on a particular good, or a quota of places reserved by a school for a certain group of students. Meeting a quota can mean reaching a required minimum, as with a sales quota, or staying under an allowed maximum, as with a fishing quota meant to protect a species. Quotas are set by an authority, a manager, a government, an institution, rather than emerging naturally, which is what separates a quota from an ordinary average or estimate. The word entered English from Latin, from the phrase quota pars, meaning how large a part.
