Litany came to English through Anglo-French and Late Latin, ultimately from the Greek word litaneia, meaning entreaty.. Litany refers literally to a type of prayer in which a series of lines are spoken alternately by a leader and a congregation. This use dates to the 13th century. Between that century and the 20th, three figurative senses developed. The chant-like quality of a literal litany led first to a repetitive chant sense.
