Merriam Webster om "quadrant":

2 a : a quarter of a circle, an arc of 90*, or an arc subtending a right angle at the center b : the area bounded by a quadrant and two radii
3 a : any of the four parts into which a plane is divided by rectangular coordinate axes lying in that plane b : any of the four more or less equal parts into which something is divided by two real or imaginary lines that intersect each other at right angles *located in the upper left quadrant of a page* *a building in the southeast quadrant of the city* *most hurricanes T are not symmetrical * the winds are much stronger in some quadrants R.C.Gentry & R.H.Simpson* c : a group comprising all the cells resulting from divisions of one of the first four blastomeres in spirally cleaving eggs with determinate cleavage d : any of four more or less equivalent segments into which an anatomic structure or surface may be divided by vertical and horizontal partitioning through its midpoint used chiefly of the abdomen *severe pain in the lower right quadrant* e : the sector between the equisignal zones of a four-course aural radio range
