Etymology
Mări is the plural of mare, the Romanian word for sea, kept almost unchanged from Latin mare. Latin mare traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root for a body of standing water. Romanian preserved this Latin core word even as centuries of Slavic and other contact reshaped much of its vocabulary elsewhere.
