Etymology: "Queryings" is the plural of "querying," the noun formed from the verb "query." The base word arrived in English through Anglo-Norman and Old French, ultimately from the Latin "quaerere," meaning "to seek" or "to ask." Its plural form simply names several separate acts of questioning, each one a single instance of the process.
