Etymology
Modificare is the Romanian action noun built from the verb a modifica, to modify. Romanian forms many abstract nouns this way, by taking a first-conjugation verb and using its long infinitive ending in -are as a noun, the same pattern seen in citire from a citi. The verb a modifica itself comes from French modifier, ultimately from Latin modificare, a compound of modus, measure, and facere, to make.
