Etymology
Amenințat is the past participle of a amenința, to threaten. The verb comes from Latin adminaciare, built on minax, threatening, itself from minae, threats. Romanian kept the old ad- prefix as a-, the same choice Spanish made in amenazar, while French and Italian dropped it in menacer and minacciare.
