It is from a 17th century Italian term meaning 40. That's how long ships had to wait at sea before being allowed into port before people could disembark. The idea is a 40 day separation as far as possible from other animals of the same species that could be infected by pathogens hidden by the new animals.
There are lots of posts here of people here who didn't quarantine their animals and subsequently infected their whole flock and lost most or all of them.
