Etymology
Naștere is the noun form of the verb a naște, meaning to be born or to give birth. That verb descends from Latin nasci, a deponent verb with the same sense. The ending -ere marks a nominalized infinitive, a regular Romanian pattern for turning a verb into an abstract action noun. Latin nasci in turn traces to a Proto-Indo-European root tied to birth and lineage.
