To ask questions or seek information; to investigate or look into something (British spelling of 'inquire').
From Old French 'enquerre,' combining 'en-' (in) and 'querre' (to seek or search). Latin root 'quaerere' means 'to ask or search.'
In British English, 'enquire' (asking casually) and 'inquire' (official investigation) are sometimes distinguished, though Americans merged them—showing how spelling preserves old grammatical nuances.
