A quirk can be an adorable little habit, like wearing flowery dresses and big sun bonnets or bow ties every day.

When it’s not being used to describe people’s unusual traits, quirk can mean a quick curve, or a groove, that runs along or separates the molding in a building.

词源：
quirk (n.)1560s, “a quibble, an artful evasion,” a word of unknown origin, perhaps connected to German quer (see queer (adj.)) via the notion of twisting and slanting; but its earliest appearance in western England dialect seems to argue against this as its source. Perhaps originally a technical term for a twist or flourish in weaving. Sense of “peculiarity” is c. 1600.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
quirk (n.)1560s，“狡辩，巧妙的逃避”，一个来源不明的词，可能通过扭曲和倾斜的概念与德语 quer （参见 queer (adj.)）相关；但它最早出现在英格兰西部方言中，似乎反对将此作为其来源。也许最初是一个技术术语，表示编织中的扭曲或繁荣。 “独特”感是c． 1600.相关条目及更多
