Borrowed from Spanish quedan, ellipsis of quedan [depositadas] (“there are hereby deposited”), a phrase that appeared on the receipt. The term quedan is the third-person plural present indicative of quedar (“to remain”), from Old Spanish quedar, from Vulgar Latin *quētāre, from Late Latin quiētō, from quiētus (“quiet, calm”) + -ō (verbal suffix).
