quotes
Gives a price
Quotes are quotation marks—the punctuation enclosing direct speech or cited text: She put quotes around "alleged" to signal skepticism.
Quotes also means passages cited from a source: The article was full of quotes from unnamed officials.
As a verb, to quote is to repeat someone's exact words or to state a price: Can you quote me a rate?
In finance, quotes are current prices for stocks or commodities.
