Etymology

Deoparte is a Romanian compound built from the preposition de (of, from), the feminine indefinite article o (a, one), and the noun parte (part, side). Together they literally mean something like from one side, which shifted to the adverbial sense of aside or apart. Parte itself descends from Latin pars, partis, the same source that gave French part and Italian parte.
