How to use "Quill" in context?
What is a quill?
A quill is a slender, pointed instrument with a tapered end used for writing. The word "quill" comes from Latin "cinquilis," meaning five-pointed. The quill was mentioned in ancient Greek writings, and was first used in China in the 6th century. Quills were made from the feathers of crows, doves, and other birds. The modern pen is essentially a shortened quill.
