Etymology
Rog is the first-person singular present of a ruga, which descends from Latin rogare, meaning to ask or ask for. The deeper Indo-European origin of rogare is debated among scholars, so no further root is given here. The same Latin verb, through borrowing rather than inheritance, underlies English words like interrogate and prerogative.
