Etymology
Încercare is a noun built from the verb a încerca, meaning to try or to test, by adding the suffix -are, which turns a verb into an action noun. A încerca traces back to Vulgar Latin incircare, from circare, to go around, itself from circus. The same Latin root gave French chercher and Italian cercare, both meaning to search.
