Etymology
The verb "a arăta" is generally traced to Latin arrectare, a frequentative form of arrigere, meaning to raise or direct one's attention. That verb itself comes from ad- plus regere, to guide or direct straight. "Arătați" is simply the second-person-plural present and imperative ending, -ați, attached to the verb stem.
