Etymology
Omor is the noun tied to the verb a omorî, meaning to kill. Its deeper origin is not settled among Romanian etymologists; some link it to om, the word for man or person, suggesting an original sense close to to turn into a corpse or to strike down a man. Because this link is disputed, no proto-root can be stated with confidence.
