Verb

IPA: /puʁ.sɥivʁ/ Audio: Fr-poursuivre.ogg
Etymology: Inherited from Old French porsivre, poursivre, porsuir, poursuire, porsivir, from Vulgar Latin *prosequere (attested in Vulgar or early Medieval Latin as prosevere and prosequire), from Latin prosequi. Most of the other Romance cognates (as well as the Old French parsivre, parsuivre) derived from the related persequor (which influenced the Old French in meaning); compare Occitan persegre, Spanish perseguir, Italian perseguire.
