The word "prease" is a shortened form of the phrase "pray thee, please". It originated from Middle English during the 14th century. The word "pray" in this context means "to ask" or "to request", and "thee" is simply an archaic form of "you". So, "pray thee, please" was a polite way to ask someone to do something or to express a humble request. Over time, this phrase was contracted to "prease" and later on, the more commonly used term "please" emerged as we know it today.
