Etymology
The word joins într- (a contracted form of the old preposition întru, meaning "in" or "into") with adevăr, meaning "truth". Together they read literally as "in truth", which settled into the fixed adverb meaning "indeed". Adevăr itself descends from Vulgar Latin, built on the Latin root verus, meaning "true".
