Etymology
Pregătire is the noun formed from the verb a pregăti, meaning to prepare. That verb combines the prefix pre- (from Latin prae-, meaning before) with a găti, an older Romanian verb meaning to make ready or to cook, which comes from a Slavic root related to gotov, meaning ready. The suffix -ire turns the verb into an abstract noun of action, so pregătire literally tracks the act of getting something ready beforehand.
