Etymology
Aseară is built from the demonstrative element a-, the same one seen in Romanian temporal words like azi and acum, attached to seară, meaning evening. Seară itself comes from Latin sera, the feminine form of serus, late, used on its own to mean the late hour, or evening. Put together, aseară literally points to that evening, the one just gone, which in practice means last night.
