To question, i.e. ascertain by inquiry (as a matter of information merely; and thus differing from #02065 (ἐρωτάω / erōtáō), which properly means a request as a favor; and from #00154 (αἰτέω / aitéō), which is strictly a demand for something due; as well as from #02212 (ζητέω / zētéō), which implies a search for something hidden; and from #01189 (δέομαι / déomai), which involves the idea of urgent need); by implication, to learn (by casual intelligence).

Derived middle voice prolonged from a primary (which occurs only as an alternate in certain tenses).
