The word 'Quadrilateral' is a collective noun for any four sided polygon.

Square, Rectangle, Parallelogram, Rhombus, Trapezium, and Kite are ALL quadrilaterals.

Also any irregular four sided figure is also a quadrilateral.

'From Latin , the word 'quad' means 'four(4)'.

The word 'lateral' means that it is drawn in 2-dimension only; in a plane/lateral environment.
