Latin root: Ask
by Anonymous
Dear Latin Teacher,
A word from the Greek or Latin root gate that means to ask? Thanks, Anonymous
Dear Anonymous,
The only Latin root I can think of that contains the -ga- you're looking for is rogare.
It means to ask or to ask for, and its English derivatives include interrogate, prerogative, interrogative, and arrogant.
Hope this helps, and thanks for asking a Latin teacher.
Sincerely,
John
