Etymology
Febră comes from Latin febris, meaning fever, inherited directly into Romanian as part of the core vocabulary. The word has stayed close to its Latin form and meaning for two thousand years. It also developed a figurative sense, describing a state of excited agitation, much like English uses fever for a craze.
