Etymology
Mărime is built from the adjective mare, meaning big or large, plus the suffix -ime, which turns qualities into abstract nouns. The same pattern gives mulțime (crowd, from mult, many) and tinerime (youth, from tânăr, young). Mare itself is usually traced to the Latin word mas, maris, meaning male, which shifted in meaning toward strong and then large in the history of Romanian.
