Meaning of cuáquero




furoya

cuáquero
  24

Concerning the Church of Friends, to whom he professes his Protestant religious beliefs. The name comes from a popular way of calling them in their country of origin (England), since it is a Castilianization of quaker ("shaker"), for its ancient custom of shaking the body in religious ceremonies, perhaps obeying the biblical sentence "Tremble in the name of the Lord!"
