Etymology

From Middle English enquery, from the Old French verb enquerre, from Latin inquīrō, composed of in- (in, at, on; into) + quaerō (I seek, look for), of uncertain origin, but possibly from Proto-Italic *kʷaizeō, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷeh₂- (to acquire). The alternative form inquiry was subsequently respelled to conform to the original Latin spelling, as opposed to the Old French spelling.
