Etymology
Atingere is a noun formed from the verb a atinge, meaning to touch or to reach. A atinge descends from Latin attingere, itself built from ad- (toward) and tangere (to touch). The suffix -ere, originally a Latin infinitive ending, was repurposed in Romanian to form abstract action nouns from verbs, much like English uses -ing.
