Etymology
Nostru descends from the Latin possessive adjective noster, nostra, nostrum, meaning our. Latin noster itself built the pronominal stem nos, us, with the relational suffix -ter, the same pattern seen in vester, your. Romanian kept the neuter/accusative form nostrum, which regularly lost its final -m to give nostru.
