Dormi is a form of the Romanian verb a dormi, which comes straight from Latin dormire, to sleep. Romanian kept this core Latin verb largely intact, unlike some other everyday words that got replaced by Slavic borrowings. The Latin verb itself traces back to an old Indo-European root tied to sleeping and dozing.
