Etymology
Romanian built "a ateriza" as a modern coinage on the model of French "atterrir" (to land), but fitted it to the native pattern of verbs ending in "-iza". The root is Latin "terra", meaning earth or land. The same root gives Romanian "teren" and "terestru", and it sits behind many European words for land and ground.
