Etymology
Căsătorie is a native Romanian formation, not a direct Latin borrowing of a marriage word. It comes from the verb a (se) căsători, meaning to get married, which in turn derives from casă, meaning house, plus a verb-forming suffix. The underlying idea is of two people setting up a household together. The noun suffix -ie then turns the verb into an abstract noun naming the institution or act.
