Usage Notes or Etymology
The word kuantifikasi is borrowed from the Latin quantificatio, derived from quantus (meaning 'how great' or 'how many') and facere (meaning 'to make' or 'to do'). It entered Indonesian through the English term quantification. The term is widely used in the domains of statistics, scientific research, economics, analytic philosophy, and formal linguistics. In the Indonesian academic context, it has been standardized by the Language Development and Cultivation Agency as the official equivalent of the English quantification.
