Question

Which is an english derivative from the latin word for "seek"?

Answer 1

The Latin word for "seek" is "quaerō". Some English derivatives that come from this root Latin word are as follows: acquire, inquire, inquisitive, query, and quest.

If you acquire something, it means you've found something that you were seeking. Inquire and inquisitive mean seeking information or someone who likes to get a lot of information, and query and quest are two types of questioning methods. A query is a question-seeking information, and a quest is a journey on which you go seeking for something.
