Etymology
Solicitation also comes from the Latin sollicitare, 'to urge', and that idea of urging can be used in a bad way when someone pushes another to do something wrong. That's why, in law, a solicitation can mean trying to persuade or pay someone to commit a crime, for example offering money for sex.
