requir

Requir is not a standard word in English and does not have a widely recognized definition in major dictionaries. It is most commonly encountered as a misspelling or typographical variant of the verb require.

In practice, reques like this appear mainly as errors in writing or coding. In computing contexts, the correct term is require, which is used to load modules or dependencies in various programming languages. When a source code or script contains the form requir, it is typically treated as a typo and can lead to runtime errors if the misspelling is part of a function name, variable, or import statement.

Outside of typographical mistakes, requir may appear as a stylized or brand-like name chosen for companies, products, or projects. In such cases, it is used as a proper noun and its meaning is defined by the branding rather than by an established linguistic sense. Examples of this usage are not widespread and such brands are generally not considered part of standard technical or linguistic terminology.

Etymology for requir, when encountered as a misspelling, traces to the verb require, from which the final silent “e” is often dropped in casual or hurried writing. Because requir has no independent lexical meaning, its interpretation relies on context—most often a simple error or a branding choice rather than a distinct linguistic concept.
