'That word' is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Quarantine” (Period of Forced Isolation) is built on ancient words that mean |Forty (|Four |Tens), from the Policy (starting in 14th-century Venice) of keeping Ships from Plague-Stricken Countries 'in Dock' for Forty Days to assure that no Latent Cases were Aboard - |Lazaretto 
The word was also used for 'the Period of Forty Days in which a Widow has the Right to Remain in her Dead Husband's House' and 'the Desert in which Lord Jesus Christ Fasted for Forty Days.'
