To ask for information or to try to find out something by asking questions.
From Latin 'inquirere' meaning 'to seek for, search into', from 'in-' (into) + 'quaerere' (to ask, seek). It entered English via Old French 'enquerre'.
‘Inquire’ feels formal, but at its root it just means ‘to go looking by asking.’ Every question is a mini investigation: you’re not just asking, you’re searching through people’s minds for what they know.
