Etymology
Romanian "a muta" comes from Latin "mutare", meaning to change or to move. Latin speakers in the Balkans kept this verb for physical relocation, and Romanian narrowed and specialized it further, especially in the reflexive form for moving house. The root also survives in Romanian "mutație" (mutation) and "strămuta" (to transfer, in a legal or formal sense).
