asked someone many questions, often forcefully or officially, like police questioning a suspect.
From Latin interrogare (to question), from inter- (between) + rogare (to ask). The idea is 'asking back and forth' in intense exchange.
Legal interrogations have strict rules in democracies because 'false confession' is real—innocent people under stress, sleep deprivation, and pressure actually confess to crimes they didn't commit.
