Etymology
Răzbunare is the noun form of the verb a răzbuna, built with the productive suffix -are that turns first-conjugation verbs into action nouns (compare a lucra, lucrare). The verb itself carries the prefix răz-, a common Romanian prefix of Slavic origin marking a thorough or reversing action. The exact root joined to this prefix is debated among Romanian etymologists, so no single ultimate source is certain.
