Origin

Late Middle English acquere, from Old French aquerre, based on Latin acquirere 'get in addition', from ad- 'to' + quaerere 'seek'. The English spelling was modified (circa1600) by association with the Latin word.

This is from Latin acquirere ‘get in addition’ from ad- ‘to’ and quaerere ‘seek’. The late Middle English spelling was acquere, the change is an example of the many words which developed new spellings around 1600 to make them look more like their Latin originals, evidence of early, if misplaced, interest in word histories.
