Etymology
Omenire is built on om, the Romanian word for a human being, which descends from Latin homo, hominem. The suffix pattern turns the old verb a omeni, to treat someone humanely or civilize them, into an action noun, the way a citi gives citire. Over time the word settled into its modern sense: humanity as a collective whole, not the act of being humane.
