Etymology
The term combines the Chinese words 出口 (meaning 'exit/export') and 配额 (meaning 'quota/allocation'), and emerged in global trade terminology in the mid-20th century as countries began regulating cross-border goods flows.
Memory Aid
Break the term into two parts: 出口 = goods leaving a country (export), 配额 = a pre-allocated limited quantity. Together they mean the limited quantity of exports allowed.
