Etymology

Natură comes from Latin natura, meaning the natural world or the essential character of a thing. Latin natura derives from the verb nasci, to be born, in its perfect participle stem nat-. Unlike inherited Latin words that evolved through everyday Romanian speech, natură entered Romanian later as a learned borrowing, part of the 18th and 19th century re-Latinization of the language alongside terms from French and Italian.
