Etymology
"Distrăm" is the first person plural present form of the reflexive verb "a se distra," meaning to have fun. It comes from French "distraire" (to divert, to amuse), which descends from Latin "distrahere," built from "dis-" (apart) and "trahere" (to pull, draw). The sense shifted from "to pull attention away" to "to entertain" and finally, in Romanian, to "to enjoy oneself."
