Etymology
The word traces to Old Church Slavonic, entering Romanian along with many everyday terms during centuries of contact with Slavic-speaking neighbors. The root is tied to a Slavic word for breathing, so the original sense was closer to catching one's breath than to leisure. Romanian kept both the noun "odihnă" (rest) and the verb "a odihni" (to rest) from this same borrowing.
