Etymology
Adâncime is built from the adjective adânc, meaning deep, plus the native suffix -ime, which turns adjectives into abstract nouns of measure or quality. The origin of adânc itself is disputed among Romanian etymologists: some link it to Latin roots, others to a pre-Roman substrate word, and no version is confirmed. Because of that uncertainty, no reliable Proto-Indo-European root can be given.
