quattro
Four in Italian
Quattro is Italian for four.
In English, it appears mainly as a brand name or marketing term—most notably Audi's quattro all-wheel-drive system, which became synonymous with performance AWD: The quattro handles beautifully in snow.
The word occasionally surfaces in other commercial contexts suggesting Italian style or a set of four.
