Interrogating is a verb that refers to the act of questioning or examining someone, typically in a formal or official setting, in order to gather information, obtain answers, or elicit a confession. It involves a systematic and methodical approach to obtain accurate and reliable information.
When interrogating an individual, it often involves a series of pointed and direct questions designed to uncover the truth or clarify certain details. The goal of interrogation can vary depending on the context, as it may be used in legal investigations, intelligence gathering, or even in casual conversations to extract information.
Interrogating requires a skill set that includes effective communication, active listening, critical thinking, and the ability to apply appropriate techniques for uncovering information while respecting ethical boundaries. It may involve a combination of open-ended questions to encourage descriptive responses, as well as closed-ended questions that require specific answers.
Common strategies used in interrogating include challenging statements, seeking clarification, employing logical reasoning, detecting inconsistencies, or even applying psychological techniques to break down resistance or obtain a confession. Interrogations can occur in various settings, such as police stations, courtrooms, intelligence agencies, or during interviews for academic or professional purposes.
Overall, interrogating is a strategic and structured process aimed at collecting information, obtaining accurate responses, and ultimately facilitating the pursuit of truth or achieving specific objectives through a series of systematic questioning.

The word "interrogating" is derived from the Latin word "interrogare", which combines "inter" (meaning "between" or "among") and "rogare" (meaning "to ask" or "to question"). The combination of these two elements gives "interrogare" the meaning of "to inquire between" or "to question thoroughly". Over time, the word was adopted into various languages, including English, where it has retained the same general meaning.
