What it means
A plain-English reading of the word, with the lexicons it draws on — Abbott-Smith, Strong's, and Liddell-Scott-Jones — right below it, in full.
AI Summary
αἰτέω means to ask, request, beg, or demand something 124. It is used both absolutely, without stating what is asked for 13, and with an object naming the thing asked for or the person asked, in various combinations (asking a thing from a person, asking a person for a thing, or asking someone to do something) 13. The word can also be used in the middle voice with the same range of senses 13.
Some sources note that in earlier Greek this word was distinguished from a related verb meaning "to ask" in the sense of question or entreat as an equal, with αἰτέω carrying more the sense of requesting something from someone in a position to grant it, though by later Greek the two words had come to be used as practical equivalents 1.

Abbott-Smith — the 1922 lexicon entry, in full
αἰτέω, -ῶ,
[in LXX chiefly for שׁאל;]
SYN.: ἐρωτάω, q.v., πυνθάνομαι. On the proper distinction between these words, v. Tr., Syn., § xl, Thayer, s.v. αἰ. In late Gk., however, αἰ. and ἐ. seem to have become practically synonymous (cf. Ac 3:2, 3; v. Field, Notes, 101 f.; M, Th., I, 4:1; M, Pr., 66n; MM, VGT, s.v.).
