Etymology
Aterizare is the noun formed from the verb a ateriza, meaning to land. The verb was built in the 19th or 20th century on the Latin-derived stem terra, meaning earth or land, with the prefix a- (from Latin ad-, toward) and a verb-forming suffix modeled on French atterrir. The final -are is the standard Romanian suffix that turns a verb's long infinitive into an action noun.
