Etymology
Clădire is a noun formed from the verb a clădi, meaning to build. The verb itself entered Romanian from a Slavic source related to Bulgarian and Serbian klada. The suffix -re turns the verb into an action or result noun, so clădire literally means the act of building, and by extension the thing built.
