This week's word is not quite as esoteric as normal, however, it does serve another purpose, which any intelligent person should be able to infer after reading my sample sentence.
Suppliant (adjective)
making or expressing a plea, esp. to someone in power or authority
"Joseph considered the word 'begging' too incongruous and too blunt for use in his letter to Northwestern University, so he used suppliant instead."
