Lol I didn’t think it would need explaining but if we’re being pedantic I guess. Why isn’t it quintants instead of quadrants?
But if we’re really digging deeper then quadrant when describing a city, among other things, has evolved from denoting a plane divided into 4 areas. We’re not strictly talking geometry otherwise the quadrants would be divided at right angles at the centre of the city. For example, the city of Portland is divided into 5 quadrants.
