Etymology

The verb is borrowed from Middle French implorer (modern French implorer (“to beg, plead, implore”)), or directly from its etymon Latin implōrāre, the present active infinitive of implōrō (“to beseech, entreat, implore; to appeal to, pray to”), from im- (a variant of in- (intensifying prefix)) + plōrō (“to cry out; to complain, deplore, lament”) (possibly from Proto-Indo-European *pleh₃(w)- (“to flow; to swim”)).
The noun is derived from the verb.

Webster’s 1913

  1. verb To call upon, or for, in supplication; to beseech; to prey to, or for, earnestly; to petition with urency; to entreat; to beg; --followed directly by the word expressing the thing sought, or the person from whom it is sought.
  2. verb To entreat; to beg; to prey.
  3. noun Imploration. [Obs.] Spencer.

Etymology [L. implorare; pref. im- in + plorare to cry aloud. See Deplore.]
