Etymology
Legătură comes from the verb lega, meaning to tie or bind, which descends from Latin ligare. The noun is formed with the suffix -tură, a Romanian descendant of Latin -tura, which turns a verb into a noun naming the result of the action. The same Latin root gives English words built on ligate and ligature.
