Etymology
Fura comes from Latin furari, meaning to steal, which is built on the noun fur, thief. The Latin word fur itself traces back to a Proto-Indo-European root for thief, related to the idea of carrying something off. Romanian kept this Latin verb almost unchanged, unlike many other Romance languages, which shifted to words based on robare or the Germanic stem for rob.
