Etymology
"Lucrăm" is the first person plural present form of "a lucra", meaning to work. The verb comes from Latin "lucrari", to gain or profit, itself from the noun "lucrum", gain or profit. Over time the Romanian verb shifted from the narrow sense of gaining money to the general sense of working or laboring.
