Quad

A "quad" refers to several related concepts, all sharing the characteristic of having four elements or components. Primarily, it denotes something comprised of four parts, individuals, or elements, often organized in a symmetrical or structured arrangement. Beyond its numerical meaning, "quad" can also describe a quadruplet, a group of four offspring born simultaneously. It is a shorthand for a quadrangle (a four-sided polygon), and in a social context, can represent a quadrangle/quadrangle with four friends.
