A full lunar month, or “moon”, goes from “new moon” to “new moon” (completely dark phases where the face we see is not illuminated at all). The “first quarter” is the when half the moon’s face is illuminated, “second quarter” is when the whole moon’s face is illuminated (full moon), “third quarter” is when half the moon’s face is illuminated again. These mark the quarter-lunar-month points, so “quarter-moon” in this case means quarter-month.
