## Romanian
### Etymology

Probably from Latin ferīre (“strike”), of Proto-Indo-European origin, with a related but shifted semantic development in Romanian (with the meaning seeming to derive from the reaction to being struck or attacked). Other less likely explanations include a Vulgar Latin *auferīre, from an alteration of auferre (as with suferi < suffere). Compare Aromanian afirescu, afiriri. Some have tried to connect it, at least in the archaic or regional sense of "to celebrate a holiday", with a Vulgar Latin *fērīre, from fēriae.
