Etymology

Încăpere is a noun built from the Romanian verb a încăpea, meaning to fit inside or to have room for something. That verb goes back to Latin incapere, formed from in- (into) and capere (to take, hold, seize). The suffix -ere turns the verb into an abstract noun naming the result: a space that holds or contains.
