Quid pro quo

Quid pro quo

"Quid pro quo": Latin utterance which literally means "Quid instead of quo", that is, the substitution of one thing for another, "something for something" or "something replaced by something else"; In medieval Latin, also quiproquo. It is an expression that originally referred to the confusion produced when using the singular interrogative / indefinite pronoun of neutral gender quid instead of using quo. The original sense of the utterance is thus the act of committing a grammatical error. Subsequently, its use was extended to indicate a conceptual error, or the confusion between people of great resemblance. In the Theater, and from Roman times, it becomes a dramatic resource to create situations of humor and conflict that are produced by the confusion between one character and another, or between one object and another. It is the basis, for example, of Menaechmi's argument of Plauto, in which two brothers separated from childhood coincide in Epidamno without their knowledge of their mutual existence, creating all kinds of misunderstandings. "Quid pro quo": locución latina que significa literalmente "Quid en lugar de quo", es decir, la sustitución de una cosa por otra, «algo por algo» o «algo sustituido por otra cosa»; en latín medieval, también quiproquo. Es una expresión que originalmente se refería a la confusión producida al usar el pronombre interrogativo/indefinido singular de género neutro quid en lugar de usar quo. El sentido original de la locución es, pues, el acto de cometer un error gramatical. Con posterioridad se extendió su uso para indicar un error conceptual, o la confusión entre personas de gran parecido. En el Teatro, y desde la época romana, se convierte en un recurso dramático para crear situaciones de humor y conflicto que se producen por la confusión entre un personaje y otro, o entre un objeto y otro. Es la base, por ejemplo, del argumento de Menaechmi, de Plauto, en la que dos hermanos separados desde la niñez coinciden en Epidamno sin que ellos sepan de su mutua existencia, creándose toda clase de malosentendidos.
