Oh boy, now you speak french ! grin

Quarantine, which is originally a french word, quarantaine, comes from the number 40, quarante in french. It was mostly used for the nautical language, when we all were battleing on the seas, and plague and other pests were to be avoided... affected ships had to stay 40 days off the ports before debarking men and goods.
