Etymology
"Moartă" is the feminine singular form of "mort", from Latin "mortuus/mortua", the past participle of "mori", to die. Romanian kept this Latin adjective directly, alongside the separate noun "moarte" (death), both from the same Latin family. The word survived largely unchanged in form and meaning across two thousand years.
