Etymology
Întâlnire is a noun built from the verb a întâlni, "to meet," plus the suffix -re, which turns Romanian verbs into action nouns. The verb itself is old in the language and its deeper origin is disputed among Romanian etymologists, so no single source root can be stated with confidence. The -re pattern is very productive: the same process gives plecare from a pleca and vorbire from a vorbi.
