"More recently, to beg the question has been used as a synonym for "to raise the question", or to indicate that "the question really ought to be addressed". This usage is often sharply criticized by proponents of the traditional meaning, but has nonetheless come into sufficiently widespread use that it is now the most common use of the term."
