英文词源

request: 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].
=> enquire, inquest, query, question, requisition
request (n.): mid-14c., from Old French requeste (Modern French requête) "a request," from Vulgar Latin *requaesita, from Latin requisita "a thing asked for," fem. of requisitus "requested, demanded," from past participle stem of requirere (see require).
request (v.): 1530s, from request (n.) or from Middle French requester, from Old French requester "ask again, request, reclaim," from requeste. Related: Requested; requesting.
