Etymology
Noră descends directly from Latin nurus, nurūs, meaning daughter-in-law. That Latin word goes back to the Proto-Indo-European root for the same kinship term, which shows up with almost identical shape across many branches of the family. Romanian kept the plain kinship sense intact, unlike French, which replaced it with the phrase belle-fille.
