    postulo

    1. first-person singular present indicative of postulare

    Latin

    Etymology

      Related to poscō (“to beg, demand, request, desire”):

      • Perhaps derived from *post-, an unattested supine stem of poscō, from *poskt-, itself from earlier *porkt- + diminutive endings; compare ustulō.
      • Alternatively, derived from *postulum, from Proto-Italic *porsk-tlom (see *-klom); compare postiliō.[1]
