adjure
\uh-JOOR\
verb
to command solemnly under or as if under oath or penalty of a curse
to urge or advise earnestly
Example Sentence
"Byron fled the country, adjuring Annabella to 'be kind' to his beloved sister." (Merle Rubin, Los Angeles Times, September 16, 2002)
"Adjure" and its synonyms "entreat," "importune," and "implore" all mean "to ask earnestly." "Entreat" implies an effort to persuade or overcome resistance. "Importune" goes further, adding a sense of annoying persistence in trying to break down resistance to a request. "Implore," on the other hand, suggests a great urgency or anguished appeal on the part of the speaker. "Adjure" implies advising as well as pleading, and is sometimes accompanied by the invocation of something sacred. Be careful not to confuse "adjure" with "abjure," meaning "to renounce solemnly" or "to abstain from." Both words are rooted in Latin "jurare," meaning "to swear," but "adjure" includes the prefix "ad-," meaning "to" or "toward," whereas "abjure" draws on "ab-," meaning "from" or "away."
*Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence.
It is an observation no less just than common, that there
is no stronger test of a man's real character than power
and authority, exciting as they do every passion, and
discovering every latent vice.
Plutarch (46-120 A.D.)
Greek Essayist and Biographer
