Etymology
Adu is the second-person singular imperative of a aduce, the Romanian verb for to bring. A aduce descends from Latin adducere, itself built from the prefix ad- (toward) and ducere (to lead). The imperative adu mirrors the imperative of the related simple verb a duce (to lead, to carry), which is du, with the same ad- prefix attached.
