#15 - Incorrect. "Quarantine" having to do with isolating people, goods, or animals for a span of time, and "quarantine" meaning the right of a widow to occupy her deceased husband's house, are homonyms that descended from two separate sources. They both mean "forty," and applied to "forty days," but they originated from 2 completely different legal documents that just happen to define things that were both forty days in duration.
