In literature, "inquisitive" is used to convey a multifaceted sense of curiosity that can be both endearing and intrusive. Authors employ the term to illustrate subtle, observational behavior—as seen when a character turns a waistcoat’s collar with an inquisitive finger ([1]) or casts a probing gaze to recognize a familiar face ([2]). Sometimes it characterizes a meddlesome personality, one who cannot resist prying into matters best left untouched ([3], [4]), while in other contexts it hints at a broader, often adventurous urge to explore and understand the world, much like the careful examinations of an inquisitive traveller ([5], [6]). This versatile adjective enriches character portrayals and adds a layer of psychological depth, whether describing a moment of tender, reflective observation or an overt search for hidden truths ([7], [8]).
