Etymology
Șapte descends directly from Latin septem, seven. The word passed through spoken Latin into Romanian with regular sound changes, including the softening of the initial consonant cluster into the sh-sound written ș. It is one of the oldest surviving numerals in the language, largely unchanged in meaning since antiquity.
