Etymology
"Iert" is the first-person singular present of "a ierta", the Romanian verb for forgiving. Linguists trace it to the Latin verb "libertare", meaning to free or liberate. Over centuries the initial syllable wore away, turning "libertare" into "erta" and then "ierta". The link between forgiving and freeing survives in the meaning: to forgive someone is to release them from a debt or obligation.
