Etymology

Cerem is the first person plural present form of a cere, from Latin quaerere, meaning to seek or ask. Quaerere passed into most Romance languages with a similar sense, and its stem also survives in learned English borrowings. The exact Indo-European origin of quaerere is not established, so no root is given here.
