Syn :
To beg ;
to crave .
Usage : {
To Beseech }, {
Entreat }, {
Solicit }, {
Implore },
{
Supplicate }.
These words agree in marking that sense of want which leads men to beg some favor .
To solicit is to make a request ,
with some degree of earnestness and repetition ,
of one whom we address as a superior .
To entreat implies greater urgency ,
usually enforced by adducing reasons or arguments .
To beseech is still stronger ,
and belongs rather to the language of poetry and imagination .
To implore denotes increased fervor of entreaty ,
as addressed either to equals or superiors .
To supplicate expresses the extreme of entreaty ,
and usually implies a state of deep humiliation .
Thus ,
a captive supplicates a conqueror to spare his life .
Men solicit by virtue of their interest with another ;
they entreat in the use of reasoning and strong representations ;
they beseech with importunate earnestness ;
they implore from a sense of overwhelming distress ;
they supplicate with a feeling of the most absolute inferiority and dependence .
