Etymology
"Cad" is the first person singular (and also third person plural) present form of the verb "a cădea", to fall. It descends directly from Latin "cadere", which had the same meaning. Romanian kept this verb as part of its core inherited Latin vocabulary, alongside the other Romance languages.
