Etymology of ENTREATS

The word entreats is a verb form derived from the noun entreat, which originated from the Old French word entraiter. In turn, entraiter came from the combination of the prefix en- (meaning to put into) and the verb traitier (meaning to treat or to negotiate). Eventually, the word entreat entered Middle English with a slightly altered pronunciation and spelling, but retained its original meaning of pleading or making a request earnestly. The addition of the suffix -s forms the third-person singular present tense form entreats.
