起源与历史
From Old French 'question', from Latin 'quaestiōnem' (a seeking, inquiry), from 'quaerere' (to seek, to ask). Related words include 'quest' (a seeking), 'request' (to ask again), 'inquest' (an inquiry into), and 'query'. The Latin root reveals that asking a question was originally conceived as a form of seeking.
