Etymology
Râd is the first person singular and third person plural present of a râde, meaning to laugh. The verb descends from Latin ridere, which passed into Romanian through ordinary spoken use rather than a learned borrowing. The origin of Latin ridere itself is not securely established, so no reliable deeper root can be given.
