implorato

Implorato is the past participle of the Italian verb implorare, meaning to beg earnestly, beseech, or entreat. As a participle, it appears in compound tenses with the auxiliary avere (ho implorato, hai implorato, ha implorato) and can be used adjectivally or in passive-like constructions in some contexts.

The verb derives from Latin implorare, formed from in- plus plorare, linked to a root meaning to cry out or lament. The English verb implore shares the same origin, reflecting a common Romance language heritage for expressing urgent or earnest appeals.

In modern Italian, implorato is used to describe the act of begging for something with strong emotion. Examples: Ho implorato aiuto. L'ho implorato di restare. It can function as an adjective in phrases such as una richiesta implorata, though more common is the noun implorazione for the act itself. When used with avere, the past participle generally does not agree with the subject, but it can agree with a preceding direct object in certain constructions, as in Le ho implorate.

Implorato can also be found as a surname in Italy, though it is not among the most common Italian family names. Related terms include the verb implorare itself and synonyms such as supplicare and pregare, as well as the noun implorazione for the act of pleading.
