Etymology
Cară is the third-person present form of a căra, a Romanian verb meaning to carry or haul a heavy load, often the way a cart would. It comes from a Vulgar Latin verb built on carrus, the Latin word for cart, which Latin itself borrowed from Gaulish. That same root gave French char and, through French, the English word car.
