Etymology

The word 'requested' is derived from the verb 'request', which originated in the late 14th century from Old French and directly from Latin 'requisitum', past participle of 'requirere' meaning 'to seek, ask, inquire'. The use of 'requested' as an adjective and noun evolved over time to reflect the concept of asking for or demanding something in a formal or informal context.
