Etymology

Mutare is the long infinitive of the verb a muta, used as a noun, as Romanian regularly does with -are verbs. A muta descends from Latin mutare, meaning to change or shift. The Romanian noun keeps the exact spelling of the Latin infinitive, so the word for a chess move or a house move is, in form, identical to the Latin verb it grew from.
