Etymology

**Sollicitude** is a late‑seventeenth‑century French noun formed from the verb *solliciter* “to seek, to request.” *Soliciter* comes from Latin *sollicitare* “to stir up, distress,” which itself is derived from *sollicitus* “anxious, restless.” The noun, with the suffix *‑ude* that marks a state or quality, thus conveys a sense of active care or preoccupation.
