1. requisition (funds); 2. seek or raise (a loan) 3. bespeak (bankruptcy etc.searches) Explanation: We still need an object or target of this verb. BTW, in shop retailing and export, I have 'requisitioned' funds, in banking sought 'funding' and, at a City of London law firm all of 40 years, did 'bespeak office copy entries' of land & bankruptcy searches. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 27 mins (2016-03-15 13:55:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- all of 40 years ago...
