Etymology
Iveală is built from the verb a se ivi, meaning to appear or emerge, plus the suffix -eală, which turns verbs into abstract nouns of state or result. The origin of a se ivi itself is not settled among Romanian dictionaries, so no further root can be given with confidence. In practice iveală survives almost only inside the fixed phrase la iveală, used with verbs like a ieși or a scoate.
