+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * Classical: [rɔˈɡaː.ti.oː]^(Wiktionary)

+ * Ecclesiastical: [roˈɡat.t͡si.o]^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''rogātiō''' ''f'' (genitive rogātiōnis); third declension^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|rogō|-tiō|t1=to ask]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan takes ⟨rogō⟩ as probably a verb from a noun [[itc-pro|*rogo-]] “a directing of oneself towards someone”, hence “request”, or an adjective “stretching”, of the arms in begging, from [[ine-pro|*h₃roǵ-o-|t=stretching]]; he compares [[non|rakr|t=straight]] and [[rogus|t=funeral pyre]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Köbler dates it from Plautus,^(Köbler 2010) de Vaan from Varro.^(de Vaan 2008) The OLD's earliest example is the historian Asellio, who speaks of not announcing what law or bill (''rogātiō'') had been carried.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ In Roman public law it is a bill put before an assembly: the people were asked whether they would decree it, and Cicero, Caesar and Livy use it often.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) More generally it is a request or invitation, as when Varro's speakers came to the temple “at the temple-keeper's invitation”, and in rhetoric a question, as in Cicero's ''De inventione''.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ Church Latin has it for a request, petition, rogation.^(Stelten 1995) In Medieval Latin it was also a tax, tallage, and in the plural the Rogations, the litanies sung on the three days before Ascension Day, and those days themselves.^(Niermeyer 1976) English [[m|en|rogation]] (late 14th century), “solemn supplication”, especially in Rogation Days, came through Old French and directly from it.^(Etymonline)
