Oprindelse

Ordet imperative stammer fra det latinske ordet imperativus, som kommer fra verbet imperare, hvilket betyder at befale eller at pålægge. Ordet imperare er dannet af præfikset im- (der betyder ind i) og verbet parare (der betyder at forberede, have i sin magt eller at arrangere). Imperative kan derfor betragtes som en form af befalende eller pålæggende i betydningen af et påbud, instruktion eller krav.
