apropierenearness (antonym)Etymology
Depărtare is built from the verb a (se) depărta, to move away or distance oneself, plus the suffix -are, which turns a verb into an abstract noun naming an action or state. The verb a depărta comes from the prefix de- attached to departe, meaning far. Departe itself goes back to the Latin phrase de parte, literally from the side or from the part, which shifted in meaning to far, distant.
