quitter (Francés) significa «to leave (a place, a person)» · quitar (Español) significa «to remove, take off»
Both from Medieval Latin QUIĒTĀRE 'to set free (of a debt)', from QUIĒTUS 'at rest'. French frees itself of a place; Spanish frees something from its place.
tirar (Español) significa «to throw; to pull; to throw away» · tirar (Portugués) significa «to take off, take out; to take (a photo)»
The same verb, of disputed origin, shared by Ibero-Romance. Portuguese tirar a roupa is 'take off your clothes'; Spanish tirar la ropa is 'throw the clothes (away)'. Portuguese atirar is the throwing one.
La historia
No shared word here: Spanish 'sets free', French 'lifts off', Italian 'takes away'. The look-alikes mislead: Spanish remover mostly means 'to stir, turn over', and Italian rimuovere is a formal word for removing obstacles or officials.
