Etymology
Acasă formed inside Romanian from the preposition/prefix a plus casă, meaning roughly "to/at house." Casă itself comes from Latin casa, "hut" or "cottage," a humble word that in the Romance languages rose to mean the main word for house or home. The fused form acasă became a fixed adverb for being or going home, separate from casă, which stayed a plain noun.
