This is a neologism of meaning (de sens). A new meaning has been given to a word that already exists. However, the meaning of the word has been restricted to refer to a specific idea (restriction de sens). "Quad" is really short for "quadruplet" which means "a combination of four of a kind" (Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary). Therefore, the word "quadruplet" has been clipped (troncation) to the short form "quad" which has been given a new but restricted meaning in the field of figure skating. 2, record 2, English, - quad
