Even though an isolated Latinism like this is possible in vernacular texts (cf. queritur), it may be that this form is simply a misreading of quere (with a common o/e confusion), see quere1 and quere2.

( s.xiii3/3; MS: s.xiv1/3 )  Quand [...] le defendant conusse le trespas ou la dette, quero si il deyve estre resceu a dire rien pur luy desavolupeer ou ne mie  91
