+ '''exōrō''' (present infinitive exōrāre, perfect active exōrāvī, supine exōrātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+ Plautus has the archaic passive infinitive ''exōrārier''.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[m|la|ex-|t=out, thoroughly]] and [[m|la|ōrō|t=to plead, pray]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan, against Walde and Hofmann and Ernout and Meillet, sees no reason not to take ⟨ōrō⟩ as a verb made from [[m|la|ōs|t=mouth]], with “to plead, speak openly” as its first meaning;^(de Vaan 2008)^(TLL) Varro already derived it from ⟨ōs⟩.^(de Vaan 2008)^(TLL)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Plautus is its first author,^(Köbler 2010) with “do you want to be won over by love or by kisses?” in the ''Asinaria''.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to win someone over by entreaty, to persuade or prevail upon, with ''ut'' or ''nē'', as Plautus' “beg her not to be angry with you”.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) It is also to obtain something by entreaty, as Virgil's “having slain bullocks, he begs the peace of the gods”, and with two accusatives to beg something of someone.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ Church Latin glosses it “pray, plead, beseech, supplicate, implore, entreat earnestly”.^(Stelten 1995)
