Etymology
Cauză comes directly from Latin causa, meaning reason, motive, or legal case. Romanian, unlike French or Italian, kept the word close to its Latin form because it entered the language through the learned, written register rather than pure oral transmission. The ultimate origin of Latin causa itself is disputed among linguists, so no secure deeper root is given.
