Etymology

Hotărâre is the noun formed from the verb a hotărî, "to decide," by adding the action-noun suffix -re. The verb itself is built on hotar, the Romanian word for "boundary" or "border," a term of Slavic origin. The underlying sense is to fix a line or limit, and from that it came to mean settling a matter or reaching a decision.
