Etymology
Dinspre is a Romanian compound preposition built from din ("from, out of") and spre ("towards"). Both pieces descend from Latin: din comes from de plus in, and spre comes from Latin supra ("above, over"), which shifted in meaning to "towards" in Romanian. Joined together, the two prepositions fuse a starting point and a direction into one word meaning "from the direction of".
