Importune.

The word Importune is the answer, as it means persistently asking or harassing someone to do something.


Like, suppose I am troubling you and constantly asking you to do something, say to give me something, then I am importunating you.

A few examples:

The beggars importuned me for money outside the temple.


The criminal was importunating the police to leave him, as he was innocent.



ETYMOLOGY


The original roots of the word are Latin. There is a Latin word importunus which means "unfit" or "troublesome"
