Orare originally meant simply "to speak" (related to the noun os, oris, "mouth"), but even in Classical Latin this literal meaning was obsolete, being replaced by "to argue, to plead." In a secular context, it became the root of the word orator, which meant the same in Latin as it does in English. In a religious context, it took on the meaning "to pray", which is how it is (or was) used in the Latin liturgy of the Catholic Church.

5 kinds of prayer found in the Old Testament vocabulary

1. Chara means "rejoice," as in Paul's instructs at Philippi, "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice" (Philippians 4:4)

2. Eucharisteo, translated "Thanksgiving," is used when Paul says to the Philippian Christians Phili 1:3)

3. Two asking words for prayer appear throughout the N.T.

Aiteo means "to want something, to ask." This is the word Jesus gave to his disciples when he said, " 'On that day you will ask in my name." (Jh 16:26), Paul used this word in the deeply moving prayer narrative. 2Cor12:8

4. krazo literally means "to cry" and conveys the idea of crying for help. "...When we cry 'ABBA! Father!" Rom 8:15, 16.

5. Proskuneo also strongly echoes the O.T.It means "to bow" and is used in (Jh 4:23)
