A group of four or more people working together, especially bullfighters or laborers; a squad or team.
Spanish diminutive form of 'cuadra,' from Latin 'quadrum' (four), originally meaning a small squad of four, expanded to mean any organized work group.
In bullfighting, each 'cuadrilla' has a matador and his team—the word captures how Spanish organized work into tight-knit groups of four or more people.
