Etymology
Pasăre descends from Latin passer, passeris, which meant sparrow. In Romanian the word broadened from naming one small bird to covering birds in general, while other Romance languages kept the narrower or a related sense. This kind of semantic widening, from a specific species to the whole class, is common across languages.
