Etymology
Răspuns is the noun use of the past participle of a răspunde, "to answer." That verb comes from Latin respondere, built from re- ("back") and spondere ("to pledge, promise"). Romanian turned this Latin verb into a regular -uns participle, the same pattern seen in spus ("said") from a spune.
