👉 To pay (a debt, fine etc.).
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! That dictionary definition – “to pay a debt, fine, etc.” - is giving us a little trick, you see. It’s true that ‘quit’ can mean to finish something with payment, like settling a score or owing a fee. But "quit" has another meaning, shining bright and clear! It means to stop , my dears, to cease and desist, no fear! Think of stopping a game, or leaving a chore behind, or saying “no more” with a resolute mind. It’s about ending an action, a habit, or a task – you understand? So, while paying might be one way to use the word 'quit,' it's much broader than just that, isn’t it true? Let’s try some examples: “He quit his job,” or "She quit complaining." See how those fit the meaning of stopping? Any questions about this rhyme and its reasoning?
