Physicist Murray Gell-Mann coined the term specifically to identify the particle; it was intended as an entirely new word (neologism). Having decided its pronunciation he only later decided on the spelling, which was resolved when he came across the phrase "Three quarks for Muster Mark" in the book Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce. The book itself was known to play liberally with language and presented a lot of invented words including puns and portmanteaus; hence, it may be of interest that Gell-Mann thought Joyce's intent with the word quark may have meant, among other things, 'the cry of the gull' or, possibly in a pun context, he speculated it related to the call for drinks at a bar and thus meant "quart." He added that, in any case, having "three" in Joyce's phrasing fitted nicely with how quarks appear in nature.

What are quarks made of in 2015?
In 2015, quarks were considered to be fundamental particles, meaning they were not made up of any smaller components.
How many different quarks are there in Chemistry?
In an atom, the neutrons and protons are made up of up quarks and down quarks. Strange quarks, charms quarks, top quarks, and bottom quarks also exist, but do not play as much of a role in the structure of an atom.
Is a quark in a nucleus of an atom?

What are quarks made of?
In the Standard Model, quarks are fundamental particles. As such, they are not made up other particles. They either exist as quarks, or not at all. Like all matter they can be converted into energy, but quarks are the building blocks of hadrons like the proton and neutron. Links can be found below to learn more.

Quarks. There are three quarks in a proton.
How many quarks does aluminum have?
Aluminum does not have quarks. Quarks are elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons, which are found in the nucleus of atoms. Aluminum has 13 protons and 14 neutrons in its nucleus, each made up of quarks.
