A probe, according to the dictionary definition, is a long thin instrument used to conduct an intrusive search. As a verb, to probe means to search or examine intrusively. ‘Probe’ comes from the Latin word, ‘probare’, meaning to test or to search for proof. And so we commonly understand ‘probe’ as referring to a careful and thorough inquiry, a penetrating investigation.
