I just found out that my dictionary is in a box in my storage closet. It's about 25 degrees outside so I didn't really want to go dig through it right now. I decided to find my first word on Dictionary.com's "word of the day" page.
Supplicate \SUP-luh-kayt\, intransitive verb:
1. To make a humble and earnest petition; to pray humbly.
transitive verb:
1. To seek or ask for humbly and earnestly.
2. To make a humble petition to; to beseech.
Supplicate derives from the past participle of Latin supplicare, from supplex, "entreating for mercy." The noun form is supplication.
