Etymology
The word comes from the Romanian verb "a ascunde" (to hide), which descends from Latin "abscondere," a combination of "abs-" (away) and "condere" (to put together, store, conceal). The suffix "-ătoare" is the feminine form of the agent/instrument suffix "-ător," so "ascunzătoare" literally names the thing that does the hiding: a hiding place.
