短释义：
Petition comes from the Anglo-Norman word peticiun, meaning “demand, request,” and when you petition someone, you ask them to consider your request. If you write up a statement against the town’s approval of a new carnival district and collect signatures from 100 neighbors to turn in to the city government, that’s a petition. If you pray to the carnival gods to rain down ruin on the carnival, that’s also a petition — and no signatures needed.
如果你对每天必须穿亮粉色鞋子上班的新规定感到愤怒，为什么不写一份请愿书，让你所有的同事签名，然后提交给你的老板呢？

请愿书源自盎格鲁-诺曼语单词 peticiun，意思是“要求、请求”，当你向某人请愿时，你要求他们考虑你的请求。如果你写了一份声明，反对该镇批准新的嘉年华区，并收集 100 名邻居的签名，上交给市政府，这就是一份请愿书。如果你祈求狂欢节之神给狂欢节带来毁灭，这也是一份请愿书——而且不需要签名。

词源：
petit (adj.)late 14c., “small, little; minor, trifling, insignificant,” from Old French petit “small, little, young, few in numbers” (11c.), which is probably from the stem of Late Latin pitinnus “small,” a word of uncertain origin; it corresponds to no known Latin form and perhaps is from a Celtic root pett- “part, piece, bit” also found in Italian pezza, English piece.
Attested as a surname from 1086. Replaced by petty in most usages, except in established forms such as petit bourgeois “conventional middle-class” (1832; used in English by Charlotte Brontë earlier than by Marx or Engels); petit mal (“mild form of epilepsy,” 1842, literally “little evil”); petit-maître (“a fop, a dandy,” 1711, literally “little master”); and petit four “small, fancy dessert cake” (1884), which in French means “little oven,” from Old French four “oven,” from Latin furnus. In Middle English a petiteskole (mid-15c.) was a school for young children.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
petit (adj.)late 14c.，“小，小；较小的，琐碎的，微不足道的”，源自古法语 petit“小，小的，年轻的，数量很少”（11c.），这可能来自后期拉丁语的词干pitinnus “小”，这个词的起源不确定；它对应于任何已知的拉丁语形式，可能来自凯尔特语词根 pett——“部分、片断、位”，也可在意大利语 pezza（英语片断）中找到。从 1086 年起被证明是一个姓氏。在大多数用法中被 petty 取代，除了小资产阶级“传统中产阶级”等既定形式（1832 年；夏洛特·勃朗特在英语中使用的时间早于马克思或恩格斯）； petit mal（“轻度癫痫症”，1842 年，字面意思是“小邪恶”）； petit-maître（“纨绔子弟，花花公子”，1711，字面意思是“小主人”）； petit four“小而精美的甜点蛋糕”（1884），法语中的意思是“小烤箱”，源自古法语“four”，源自拉丁语“furnus”。在中古英语中，petiteskole（15 世纪中期）是一所针对幼儿的学校。相关条目及更多内容
