Etymology
Răspuns comes from the Romanian verb a răspunde, which descends from Latin respondere, itself formed from re- (back) and spondere (to pledge, to promise solemnly). The noun is the past participle of a răspunde used as a stand-alone word, a common pattern in Romanian where participles double as nouns. The same Latin verb also gave English response and respond.
