request[request 词源字典]

request: [14] Request and require [14] come from the same ultimate source: Latin requīrere. This was a compound verb formed from the prefix re- ‘again’ and quaerere ‘ask, search’ (source of English enquire, question, etc). It originally meant ‘seek again, ask for again’, and it passed into Vulgar Latin as *requaerere, whose feminine past participle *requaesita has given English request. ‘Ask for’ gradually passed via ‘demand’ into ‘need’, and it was in this sense that English acquired the verb *requaerere, through Old French requere, as require.

Derivatives include requisite [15] and requisition [16].
