Etymology
Extinde comes from Latin extendere, a combination of the prefix ex- (out) and tendere (to stretch). The Latin verb spread across the Romance languages with the same core sense of stretching something outward. Romanian kept the meaning intact while adapting the verb to its own conjugation pattern.
