Etymology
Lucrez is the first person singular present of the verb a lucra, meaning to work. The verb descends from Latin lucrari, to gain or profit, itself built on lucrum, gain or profit. Over time the Romanian descendant shifted from the narrow sense of profiting to the broader everyday sense of working or laboring.
