Etymology
Măsură comes from Latin mensura, the noun form of metiri, meaning to measure. The word passed into Romanian through the everyday spoken Latin of the region, keeping both its concrete sense of physical measurement and its figurative sense of a degree or a step taken to achieve something. Related languages inherited the same Latin root through their own paths.
