Etymology
Amenințare is the action noun of the verb a amenința, meaning to threaten. The verb comes from Latin *amminaciare, built on minacia, meaning threat, which itself derives from minax, minacis, threatening. Romanian kept this Latin root while most of its Romance sisters also preserved it, though French and Portuguese later remodeled the word.
