Etymology

Romanian dictionaries list the origin of "mereu" as uncertain. It appears in the language as a plain adverb of time with no clear Latin or Slavic source that scholars agree on. Because the record is thin, it is safer to treat its origin as unresolved rather than assign it a confident source.
