The Wikipedia site for Prayer is Preces - Vicipaedia
Now it seems we have three words for prayers in Latin. Preces is one of them.
In Ave Maria we say Ora ora nobis. The word is Oratio.
Then we have “…de precationem nostram…” in the Gloria. The word is Precatio.

Are there any difference between these words?
Why is Precatio used in the Gloria?
It seems that the meaning we are looking at here Only applies to ecclesiastical latin and not folder latin.
