Etymology
Băutură comes from the Romanian verb a bea, to drink, which descends from Latin bibere. The noun is built on bău, the old past-tense stem of a bea, plus the suffix -tură, which turns a verb into a noun naming an action or its result. Latin bibere itself goes back to a very old root for drinking found across Indo-European languages.
