  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Quash  \Quash\,  v.  t.  [imp.  &  p.  p.  {Quashed};  p.  pr  &  vb  n. 
  {Quashing}.]  [OF.  quasser  F.  casser,  fr  L.  cassare  to 
  annihilate,  annul,  fr  cassus  empty,  vain,  of  uncertain 
  origin.  The  word  has  been  confused  with  L.  quassare  to  shake, 
  F.  casser  to  break,  which  is  probably  of  different  origin. 
  Cf  {Cashier},  v.  t.]  (Law) 
  To  abate,  annul,  overthrow,  or  make  void;  as  to  quash  an 
  indictment.  --Blackstone.
