Etymology
"Cură" entered Romanian from French "cure", which traces to Latin "cura" meaning care or concern. The word kept its medical sense of a supervised course of treatment, such as a spa stay or a diet. The deeper origin of Latin "cura" is disputed among etymologists, so no secure Proto-Indo-European root can be given.
