Etymology

From Latin quaerere, present active infinitive of quaer? (“seek, look for, desire”). In the 19th century, the older form of the simple perfect, cer?ii, from Latin quaes?v?, was replaced by cerui by analogy and the old past participle, cer?it, from Latin quaes?tus, was replaced by cerut. The r in these obsolete words were themselves a relatively modern addition through analogy with the original word.
