Etymology
Renunța comes from the Latin verb renuntiare, built from re- (back, again) and nuntiare (to announce), itself from nuntius (messenger). Romanian likely absorbed the word through French renoncer during the wave of French-influenced vocabulary that reshaped modern Romanian in the 19th century. The core sense shifted from a formal act of announcing a withdrawal to the general idea of giving something up.
