Answer 3

Quisquilian is an adjective that means:

Consisting of trash and rubbish; something worthless or trifling.

From Latin quisquiliae (waste, rubbish).

Answer 4

It's from the Latin word "quisquiliae" meaning "trash". The English is so close to the original that I expect it was borrowed fairly recently, maybe by a writer in the 16th to 18th centuries.
