imploration

/ɪmplɔɹˈeɪʃən/ noun

The action of imploring; begging, beseeching.

Word Origin Imploration comes from Latin in- 'into' and plorare 'to cry out' — to implore is to cry out to someone, to beg tearfully. The -ation suffix turns it into the noun for the act. The root plorare also gives us deplore (cry down, lament) and explore (originally 'to cry out at,' as hunters did when spotting game).
