A supplicant, one who supplicates, is a term that is applied to humble petitioners.

Within BDSM, the word supplicant is often used to a refer to a submissive applicant, hoping to enter the service of a particular dominant or household.

In the Gor novels of John Norman, a "supplicant" (or "suppliant" or "penitent") is a conventional role within a stylised ritual ceremony during which the leaders and prominent inhabitants of a conquered city beg for mercy from their conquerors. A supplicant traditionally wears nothing but a simple plain white robe (accompanied by a veil in the case of women), and is naked and barefoot beneath the robe, symbolising a transitional status between freedom and possible slavery (at the whim of the conquerors).
