According to Wikipedia:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quorum

The term quorum is... derived from Latin quorum, "of whom", genitive
plural of qui, "who". As a result, quora as plural of quorum is not
a valid Latin formation.

My question therefore, is, "What IS the correct plural of "quorum"?

It depends entirely on which language you are writing or speaking at the
time.
English doesn't follow the same patterns as does/did Latin.

In English; quorums or quora.
In Latin; don't go there.

There is no Latin plural, period.

In English, the word has another meaning, and the plural is “quorums”.

Ex-CUSE me!?! I *am* going there, that's what I posted my query here for!

If YOU are unable or unwilling to answer, then DON'T ANSWER.

And let someone of greater helpfulness respond instead.

Well, that's a tad more helpful, even if I have trouble believing it.

Let's start here: since the word in Latin apparently means something
else, what does it mean? And why does it have no plural?

It means the “whose” in, “The soldiers whose boots are worn out should
line up to the right.” Through several steps, first in French, then in
English, it came to acquire an English meaning, “the minimum number of
members to hold an official meaning,” and to serve in English as a noun.

Since that is a useful meaning, it is barely possible that there is a
word in modern Latin that has been assigned to it. If so, that word
would have a plural. But you’ll have to ask someone from the Vatican.

When I asked my hemidemisemi soror infans, whom we call La gramática, these questions she said nothing. But when I pulled the dummy out of her gob, whence she was vainly trying to extract formula, she opined that the plural of 'whose' is 'whose,' the plural of the English word 'quorum' is 'quorums,' and that the plural of the Latin word with the same meaning as the English word 'quorum' is το, του... τα τοι το 'quorum Anglicum*.'

*Here she added ' "numerus hominum quorum praesentia exquiritur, or even מִנְיָנִים‎ minyaním, " now give me back my pacifier, you dropout.'
Apparently 'quora' is just a random string of letters or maybe a typo made by an ocr program representing 'quom.'

The best I can get on the Latin for English "quorum" (and, yes, I did
look in Morgan's list) was given by a guy in Textkit.
https://archive.org/details/RomanAntiquities/page/n29/mode/1up
(Page 7, second paragraph & footnote)

I have tools to search all classical texts, but after about half an hour
using "quorum" and getting a googolplex of hits, I had to give up. Maybe
my search skills are inadequate; our old friend Uncle John would in all
likelihood have got something better, he was a dab hand with googling.

Avenues of approach;
1. Study Republican Roman history, find a year when senate failed on
quorum count, search Livy, Sallust or other texts.
2. What about a Greek term; Athens' Boule, Ecclesia; or Sparta's
Gerousia would have had a quorum rule.
3. Make one up. The Romans went for things like "Lex Manilia", name of
tribune or other presiding magistrate, often with a "de ....".
Lex Eduardiana, de minimo numero senatorum praesentium necessario ad
consultum faciendum.
Or go further with NeoLatin licence; "minimositas", "sufficientitas",
"satispraesentia".

If you plug that text from footnote 3 into google search, you get only one hit (to Roman Antiquities itself). If that text is a quote from the classical corpus, google can't find it.
Curiously, the author, one Adams, seems to be a Scot who published in the U..S. (1872). The copy I see is from the University of Minnesota.

Anyway, it's the best idea so far : numerus (minimus) collegarum legitimus conventui.

Good question. (There are some who would say -- erroneously, might
I add -- that "whose" is already plural.)

I'll concede the point, but add that the Wikipedia writer ought to
have explained this a bit more clearly. Merely to say that "quora
is incorrect," without any explanation, just BEGS for challenge.

Apologies if I seemed like an ill-tempered clavichord. :)

(But THAT said, don't ever dare to call me a "Clever Clogs" again,
or I'll chuck 'em at your head!) ;)

You must be a citizen of USA. Your culture has that high-school nerds v the
beautiful people stereotype. The blond bombshells of pure Aryan descent v
the cringing little intellectuals. My nation doesn’t. Over here you can be
both an A student and popular with the girls, as well as a star on the
athletics field.

What are you doing hanging out in a Latin language forum? Your entire
demeanour screams that you don’t know a word of Latin.

I'm not even sure I understand the half of that, but I'm sure it's
demeaning. Dude -- I hope you're joking. Since when do we go around,
unprovoked, dissing the people of other countries? Are you racist?

Besides, there's one thing you can NEVER be: President. :)

> What are you doing hanging out in a Latin language forum? Your

You're right, I DON'T know a word of Latin, for which I praise
God for small favors.

Oh, wait. I DO know some Latin! "Ex post facto" (which Wikipedia
claims SHOULD be "Lex postfactum"), "Quid pro quo," "E pluribus
unum,", "Caveat emptor," "Cave canem," "Alea iacta est," and "ad
nauseam." plus a couple of dozen "et ceteras" (itself a Latin term). :)

On the other hand, I know a very great deal about parliamentary
procedure, which YOU probably know nothing about and for which YOU
no doubt praise God for small favors. :)

What am I doimg "hanging out in a Latin language forum?" Why, trying
to find out the plural of the Latin word "quorum." :)

Where else would you suggest I should inquire? :o

In Latin quorum is a plural pronoun, not a singular noun.

Latin of course has singular and plural.
