The word quantitative comes from the Latin "quantus ?" meaning "how much ?" The idea is that some things which we experience, or which we can know, are measurable.

Again, take the case of calling something hot: ..... (Think about this case for yourselves; if you need a hint, compare the comments on "big" above.)
