| Definitions |
A dependent entity that inheres in a bearer by virtue of how the bearer is related to other entities.
A quality is a specifically dependent continuant that, in contrast to roles and dispositions, does not require any further process in order to be realized.
A quality is an attribute that is intrinsically associated with its bearer (or its parts), but whose presence/absence and observed/measured value may vary.
The etymology of "quality" is fairly well elucidated coming from Middle English, from Old French qualité, from Latin qualitatem, accusative of qualitas, from qualis (“of what kind”), from Proto-Indo-European *kʷo- (“who, how”). Cicero coined qualitas as a calque to translate the Ancient Greek word ποιότης (poiótēs, “quality”), coined by Plato from ποῖος (poîos, “of what nature, of what kind”).
