Syn. -- To ask; interrogate; catechise; doubt; controvert; dispute. --
Question, Inquire, Interrogate. To inquire is merely to ask for
information, and implies no authority in the one who asks. To
interrogate is to put repeated questions in a formal or systematic
fashion to elicit some particular fact or facts. To question has a
wider sense than to interrogate, and often implies an attitude of
distrust or opposition on the part of the questioner.
