Etymology
1. 1535,
quære, from L.
quære "ask," imperative of
quærere "to seek, gain, ask," of unknown origin. Spelling altered c.1600 by influence of
inquiry. The noun in the sense of "a question" is attested from 1635.
2. An anglicisation of quere, an obsolete variant form of Latin quaere, second-person singular present active imperative of quaerō (“seek, look for; ask”); perhaps suffixed with -y (“abstract noun”). Cognate with French quérir, Italian chiedere, Portuguese querer, Romanian cere, and Spanish querer. Compare question. See: French '
quérir', Italian '
chiedere', Portuguese '
querer', Romanian '
cere', Spanish '
querer'.
