Etymology
Șters is the irregular past participle of the verb a șterge, meaning to wipe or erase. The verb descends from Latin extergere, a compound of ex- and tergere, meaning to wipe clean. Like a few other Romanian verbs (arde/ars, merge/mers), it forms its participle with -s instead of the regular -at or -ut ending.
