Etymology
Băutură is formed inside Romanian from the verb a bea (to drink) plus the suffix -tură, which turns a verb into a noun naming the result of the action. A bea itself descends from Latin bibere (to drink). The Latin verb traces back to a Proto-Indo-European root for drinking, reconstructed as *peh3(i)-, seen with a reduplicated form in bibere.
