    Usage notes

    Until the late 19th century, quote'' was exclusively used as a verb. Since then, it has been used as a shortened form of either quotation or quotation mark; see , above. This use as a noun is well-understood and widely used, although it is often rejected in formal and academic contexts.Rosenheim, Edward W.; Ann Batko.
