Quantitative comes from the word "quantity" meaning an exact amount.

A quantitative variable, or answer, is one where an exact numerical value is expected, such as, Liz has 4 dogs.

4 is the quantitative value.

Contrast this with qualitative, where an amount is given but without exact numbers. i.e. Liz has MORE dogs than Sue.

Or even Liz has Labradors, while her parents have Great Danes.
