Enquired

Asked about something in order to get information; past tense of enquire.

From Old French 'enquerre,' derived from Latin 'inquirere' (in- 'into' + quaerere 'to seek'). In British English, 'enquire' is preferred, while American English favors 'inquire,' though both spellings are acceptable in modern usage and have been used interchangeably since the 1500s.
