Etymology
Nemuritor is built from the negative prefix ne- attached to muritor, meaning mortal. Muritor itself comes from the verb a muri, to die, plus the agentive suffix -tor, which turns a verb into a doer or a quality-bearer. The word a muri traces back to Latin mori, to die, part of the inherited Latin core of Romanian vocabulary.
