Etymology
Eroare comes from Latin error, errorem, a noun built on the verb errare, to wander or to stray. Romanian likely took the word from French erreur during the nineteenth-century push to modernize its vocabulary, rather than inheriting it directly from spoken Latin. That path explains its close resemblance to the French and English forms, unlike older, more worn-down native words.
