early 14c., "a supplication or prayer, especially to a deity," from Old French peticion "request, petition" (12c., Modern French pétition) and directly from Latin petitionem (nominative petitio) "a blow, thrust, attack, aim; a seeking, searching," in law "a claim, suit," noun of action from past participle stem of petere "to make for, go to; attack, assail; seek, strive after; ask for, beg, beseech, request; fetch; derive; demand, require," from PIE root *pet-, also *pete- "to rush; to fly" (cognates: Sanskrit pattram "wing, feather, leaf," patara- "flying, fleeting;" Hittite pittar "wing;" Greek piptein "to fall," potamos "rushing water," pteryx "wing;" Old English feðer "feather;" Latin penna "feather, wing;" Old Church Slavonic pero "feather;" Old Welsh eterin "bird"). Meaning "formal written request to a superior (earthly)" is attested from early 15c.

petition 同义词解析

plead, appeal, beg, petition, entreat, pray

这些动词均含"请求，恳求"之意。

plead： 指谦卑而又不失尊严地请求，侧重迫切感。

appeal： 常指以道义原则为基础或以法律为依据的请求。

beg比plead通俗，不用于法律范畴，指低声下气地请求，有时含贬义，指某人喋喋不休地要求得到帮助。

petition： 指正式而热切地请愿或祈求。

entreat的意义与beg的大致相同，但较文雅。

pray： 指祈求，多用于宗教用语中。
