Etymology
Noastră descends from the Latin possessive noster, nostra, nostrum, meaning our. Romanian kept the feminine singular form nostra and, through regular sound change, turned the stressed o into the diphthong oa before the final ă. This vowel shift, called diphthongization, is common in Romanian and also explains words like poartă from porta.
