Etymology
The expression "qué más da" combines the interrogative 'qué' (what), the comparative adverb 'más' (more), and the verb 'dar' (to give) in the third person singular form 'da' (gives). Literally, it translates to 'what more does it give?' but idiomatically it evolved to express a rhetorical question implying that something is of no importance or consequence.
