adjured
Solemnly urged action
Adjured is the past tense of adjure, meaning to urge or request solemnly, often invoking something sacred or binding: He adjured them to tell the truth.
The word carries more weight than simply asking—it implies earnest appeal or formal command, sometimes under oath.
She adjured him by all that was holy to keep the secret.
