Etymology
Nuntă comes from the Latin nuptiae, meaning wedding or marriage rites. Latin nuptiae is tied to the verb nubere, to marry, said originally of a bride covering herself with a veil. The word passed into Romanian as part of its core Latin inheritance, unlike most Balkan neighbors, which borrowed their wedding vocabulary from Slavic or Turkish sources.
