Etymology

Ajuta comes from Latin adiutare, a frequentative form of adiuvare, meaning to help or assist repeatedly. The prefix ad- (toward) combined with iuvare (to help) to give the sense of lending support. Romanian inherited the verb directly from spoken Latin, and it has kept its core meaning largely unchanged for two thousand years.
