Appeal

/əˈpiːl/ verb

Definition

To appeal is to ask strongly for help or a decision to be changed, or to be attractive or interesting to someone.

Etymology

From Old French "apeler" meaning "to call" or "to summon," from Latin "appellare." The legal sense of calling a decision into question and the emotional sense of calling to someone’s interest come from the same root.

Kelly Says

When something “appeals” to you, it’s literally calling out to your mind or emotions. A courtroom appeal, an emotional appeal, and an appealing dessert are all different kinds of powerful calls.
