Syn :
To {
Beg }, {
Ask }, {
Request }.
Usage :
To ask (
not in the sense of inquiring )
is the generic term which embraces all these words .
To request is only a polite mode of asking .
To beg ,
in its original sense ,
was to ask with earnestness ,
and implied submission ,
or at least deference .
At present ,
however ,
in polite life ,
beg has dropped its original meaning ,
and has taken the place of both ask and request ,
on the ground of its expressing more of deference and respect .
Thus ,
we beg a person '
s acceptance of a present ;
we beg him to favor us with his company ;
a tradesman begs to announce the arrival of new goods ,
etc .
Crabb remarks that ,
according to present usage , "
we can never talk of asking a person '
s acceptance of a thing ,
or of asking him to do us a favor ."
This can be more truly said of usage in England than in America .
[
1913 Webster ]

Beg \,
