Etymology
Înspre is a Romanian compound preposition built from în (in, into) fused onto spre (toward). The prefix reinforces the directional sense already carried by spre, a common pattern in Romanian, which also produced dinspre (from the direction of). Spre itself descends from Latin super (above, over), which shifted in meaning toward direction rather than position as Romanian developed.
