Supplicates, in the context of human behavior or religious practices, refers to the act of earnestly and humbly requesting or begging for something. It involves making a fervent plea, often to a higher power or authority, with the intention of seeking favor, mercy, or assistance. Supplication is an expression of deep need or desire, demonstrating humility and acknowledging one's own limitations or dependence on external forces.
In a religious context, supplicating often takes the form of prayer or worship, where individuals beseech the divine for blessings, forgiveness, or guidance. These supplications can be in the form of spoken or written words, gestures, or ritualistic acts, demonstrating devotion, faith, and an acknowledgment of the divine power over human affairs.
Outside of religious settings, supplication can be seen in interpersonal relationships, especially when one person feels subordinate or in need of assistance from another. In such cases, supplicating involves making a humble and sincere request, often demonstrating vulnerability, dependency, or recognition of one's inferior position.
Overall, the act of supplicating is characterized by a deep sense of need or urgency, coupled with an acknowledgement of one's own limitations and the desire for assistance, mercy, or favor from a more powerful or influential entity.
The word "supplicates" is derived from the Latin verb "supplicāre", which means "to kneel or bow down" in a reverential manner. It is formed by combining the prefix "sub" meaning "under" or "beneath" and the verb "plicāre" meaning "to fold or bend". Together, "supplicāre" implies the act of humbly folding oneself down, thus indicating a plea or entreaty made in a humble or begging manner. The word "supplicates" is the third person singular present form of the verb "supplicate", which means to make a humble plea or request.
