In this paper, we introduce quotients of étale groupoids. Using the notion of quotients, we describe the abelianizations of groupoid C*-algebras. As another application, we obtain a simple proof that effectiveness of an étale groupoid is implied by a Cuntz–Krieger uniqueness theorem for a universal groupoid C*-algebra.
