In*ter`ro*ga"tion (?), n. [L.
interrogatio: cf. F. interrogation.]
1. The act of interrogating or questioning;
examination by questions; inquiry.
2. A question put; an inquiry.
3. A point, mark, or sign, thus [?],
indicating that the sentence with which it is connected is a
question. It is used to express doubt, or to mark a query. Called
also interrogation point.
&fist; In works printed in the Spanish language this mark is not
only placed at the end of an interrogative sentence, but is also
placed, inverted [as thus (&iques;)], at the beginning.
