Etymology

Plănui is built from the noun plan, itself borrowed into Romanian from French plan (ultimately from Latin planus, flat), plus the native verb-forming suffix -ui. This suffix regularly turns a noun into a verb of action, the same pattern seen in loc becoming locui. The result is a home-grown verb built on an imported root.
