Etymology
Oricând is built from ori, the Romanian word for "or," plus când, "when." Când comes from Latin quando. Ori traces back to Latin hora, "hour," a borrowing from Greek hōra; over time hora-based phrases in Romanian settled into the conjunction ori, and it was later reused as a prefix meaning "any-" on question words like cine, care, and când.
