Etymology
1. c.1300, "to ask a question, inquire," from O.Fr.
requerre, from V.L.
*requærere, from L.
requirere "seek to know, ask," from
re- "repeatedly" +
quærere "ask, seek" (see query). The original sense of this word has been taken over by
request. Sense of "demand (someone) to do (something)" is from 1751, via the notion of "to ask for imperatively, or as a right" (1380).
2. From Old French requerre (whence Modern French requérir), from Latin requīrō (“to require, seek, ask for”, literally “to seek back”), from re- (“back; again”) + quaerō (“to seek”, whence query). See: French '
requérir'.
