Etymology

From Latin quintus. Pushed out Old Spanish cinquén(o), quintén(o) in line with the re-Latinization of many other numerals – compare Ladino sinkeno. The meanings “18-year-old boy” and “conscript” comes from the days of King John II of Castile, who decreed that one boy in five were obliged to serve in the army.
