prosba
Depending on the context: request, entreaty, demand, desire, appeal, plea, pleading, supplication, or prayer. Czech (and other Slavic languages) prosit is cognate with German fragen 'to ask' and Latin precor 'to entreat, pray for, wish for'; the latter is also the origin of English pray via French.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
