Etymology

Dintre is a fusion of din (from) and între (between, among). Din itself comes from Latin de and in combined, while între traces to Latin inter. Romanian speakers merged the two prepositions to express selection from a group, and the compound became fixed by the time of the earliest Romanian texts.
