Etymology

Plimbare is the noun built from the verb a (se) plimba, meaning to walk or stroll. Romanian dictionaries trace a plimba back to the Latin praeambulare, a walk ahead or walk about, through an older form a (se) primbla with the l and r switching places over time. The suffix -are, which normally marks a verb's long infinitive, was reused here as a noun ending, so plimbare literally reads as the act of strolling.
