Etymology
The verb "a răni" is built from the Romanian noun "rană" (a wound), which Romanian borrowed from a South Slavic source. Slavic vocabulary entered Romanian in large numbers over the medieval period, often for everyday body and health terms. The verb simply turns that borrowed noun into an action: to cause a wound.
