Etymology
Căutare is the action noun built from the verb a căuta, meaning to look for or to search. A căuta descends from Latin captare, to try to grasp or chase after, itself a frequentative form of capere, to take or seize. The suffix -are, which also forms the long infinitive of first-conjugation Romanian verbs, turned the verb into an abstract feminine noun naming the act of searching.
