Etymology

"Facă" is the third-person present subjunctive of the verb "a face", meaning to do or to make. It descends from Latin "facere", which had the same meaning. Romanian kept this verb as one of its most frequent, and the subjunctive form appears constantly after "să" in requests, wishes, and necessity clauses.
