  Quorum \Quo"rum\, n. [L., of whom, gen. pl. of qui who, akin to
     E. who. See the Note below.]
     Such a number of the officers or members of any body as is
     competent by law or constitution to transact business; as, a
     quorum of the House of Representatives; a constitutional
     quorum was not present.
  
     Note: The term arose from the Latin words, Quorum aliquem
           vestrum . . . unum esse volumus (of whom we wish some
           one of you to be one), which were used in the
           commission formerly issued to justices of the peace in
           England, by which commission it was directed that no
           business of certain kinds should be done without the
           presence of one or more of certain justices specially
           designated. Justice of the peace and of the quorum
           designates a class of justices of the peace in some of
           the United States.
