Enclosed college yard
Quad has attained word status mostly by being a shortening of several longer words.
A quadrangle, especially on a university campus, is a quad, as is the quadriceps muscle: I’m working on my quads today.
A quad is one of four children born at once (quadruplet), or a ski lift that accommodates four (quad lift).
Quad sound is quadraphonic, that is, coming from four speakers.
The verb quad in typography has to do with where white space is concentrated, as in quad left and quad right.
