Etymology
Cădere is the Romanian long infinitive of the verb a cădea, to fall, used as an abstract noun. This is a regular pattern in Romanian, where infinitives ending in -ere double as nouns, as in a vedea giving vedere. A cădea itself descends directly from Latin cadere, to fall, part of the Latin core of the Romanian vocabulary. The same Latin root also gave casus, source of English words like case and occasion.
