Etymology
Legătură is a native Romanian formation built on the verb a lega, meaning to tie or bind, itself descended from Latin ligare. The suffix -ătură attaches to the verb stem to name the result of the action, so legătură literally means the act or result of tying. The Latin root ligare is of uncertain deeper origin, so no further reconstruction is offered here.
