<< review queue entry 36548 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> I had never heard of "to sue out" but I found "To sue out (Law), to petition for and take out, or to apply for and obtain; as, to sue out a writ in chancery; to sue out a pardon for a criminal. [1913 Webster]" on a webpage. The exact same definition "beg forgiveness; sue out clemency" is given at nciku and at http://zh.wiktionary.org/zh-hant/乞恕 Googling "sue out clemency" leads to pages about Chinese language! Looks like a construct and it's not in a number of dictionaries. Could delete? Editor: yes, a number of "English" defs found in dicts only appear... in Chinese |
