Etymology
Căsnicie is built from casnic, the Romanian adjective for "domestic" or "household-related," plus the abstract-noun suffix -ie. Casnic in turn comes from casă, "house," which descends from Latin casa, meaning hut or cottage. So the word literally grew out of the idea of a shared household, and it kept that sense: it points to married life at home, not the legal act of marrying.
