Etymology

The word 'implore' comes from the Latin 'implorare', which is a combination of 'in-' meaning 'in' or 'upon' and 'plorare', meaning 'to weep' or 'to cry out'. This etymology suggests a deep emotional connection to the act of pleading or begging. The term entered the English language during the Middle Ages, gaining its modern form in the late 14th century. Over time, 'implore' has retained its essential meaning of earnest pleading, often accompanied by a sense of desperation. It is commonly used in both everyday speech and literary contexts to convey the intensity of a request, reflecting the speaker's emotional investment.
