I had always heard that this word, Quiz, was "invented" by a man during a bet. He bet a friend that he could invent a new word and get it accepted. He proceeded to paint this word , Quiz, all over the town, graffiti style. I believe that this happened in England. Well, that is what I remember hearing a long time ago about the origin of this word. I was surprised that this was not confirmed in your information.
