Etymology
Lupta is the definite form of luptă, a feminine noun inherited from Latin lucta, meaning wrestling or struggle. Latin lucta is tied to the verb luctari, to wrestle or strive, which also gave Romanian its verb a lupta, to fight. The Romanian definite article a attaches to the end of the noun, so lupta literally means the fight.
