Etymology
Cerere is the noun form of the verb a cere, meaning to ask or to request. Romanian builds abstract nouns from many verbs by adding the suffix -ere, the same pattern seen in vedere (sight, from a vedea) or tăcere (silence, from a tăcea). A cere itself descends from Latin quaerere, to seek or ask, the same root that gave English words like query and request through French and Latin borrowing.
