    Этимология

    () Recorded since 1579, from two virtual synonyms: obsolete quag (“bog, marsh”) (a variant of Middle English quabbe (“a marsh, bog”), from Old English *cwabba (“shake, tremble like something soft and flabby”); cognate with Dutch kwab) + mire (from Middle English, from Old Norse mýrr, akin to Old English mōs (“marsh”) and English moss). The sense "difficult situation, inextricable position" is recorded since 1775.“” in the Online Etymology Dictionary, Douglas Harper, 2001 Alternative: Apparently a var. of the earlier quakemire quake + mire. in The Century Dictionary, The Century Co., New York, 1911
