Quality \Qual"i*ty\, n.; pl. {Qualities}. [F. qualit['e], L.
   qualitas, fr. qualis how constituted, as; akin to E. which.
   See {Which}.]
   1. The condition of being of such and such a sort as
      distinguished from others; nature or character relatively
      considered, as of goods; character; sort; rank.

            We lived most joyful, obtaining acquaintance with
            many of the city not of the meanest quality. --Bacon

   2. Special or temporary character; profession; occupation;
      assumed or asserted rank, part, or position.

            I made that inquiry in quality of an antiquary.
                                                  --Gray.

   3. That which makes, or helps to make, anything such as it
      is; anything belonging to a subject, or predicable of it;
      distinguishing property, characteristic, or attribute;
      peculiar power, capacity, or virtue; distinctive trait;
      as, the tones of a flute differ from those of a violin in
      quality; the great quality of a statesman.

   Note: Qualities, in metaphysics, are primary or secondary.
         Primary are those essential to the existence, and even
         the conception, of the thing, as of matter or spirit
         Secondary are those not essential to such a conception.

   4. An acquired trait; accomplishment; acquisition.

            He had those qualities of horsemanship, dancing, and
            fencing which accompany a good breeding.
                                                  --Clarendon.

   5. Superior birth or station; high rank; elevated character.
      ``Persons of quality.'' --Bacon.

   {Quality binding}, a kind of worsted tape used in Scotland
      for binding carpets, and the like.

   {The quality}, those of high rank or station, as
      distinguished from {the masses}, or common people; the
      nobility; the gentry.

            I shall appear at the masquerade dressed up in my
            feathers, that the quality may see how pretty they
            will look in their traveling habits.  --Addison.

   Syn: Property; attribute; nature; peculiarity; character;
