implore
Ask with urgency
To implore is to beg or plead urgently, appealing to someone's mercy or compassion: She implored him to reconsider.
The word carries more emotional weight than ask or request—it suggests desperation or deep sincerity.
You implore forgiveness, implore someone to stay, implore the court for leniency.
