Etymology
Ascunde comes from Latin abscondere, meaning to put out of sight. That word joins abs- (away, off) with condere (to put together, store, found). Romanian kept the meaning intact while the sounds shifted through normal historical change. Condere itself traces back to Latin dare, to give or put, a very old and widely inherited verb.
