A sheet of paper that is a quarter of a larger page size; a unit of liquid or dry measure in Spanish-speaking regions, equal to about a quart.
Spanish diminutive of 'cuarta' (quarter), from Latin 'quartus,' meaning literally 'a small quarter' or 'fourth part.'
Before standardized paper sizes existed, 'cuartilla' was how printers described quarter-page sheets—different regions had different sizes, causing chaos until modern ISO standards unified paper sizes!
