Etymology
"Repare" is a form of the verb "a repara," which Romanian took from French "réparer" in the nineteenth century, as part of a broader effort to bring the language closer to its Latin roots. The French word goes back to Latin "reparare," built from "re-" (again) and "parare" (to make ready, to prepare). English "repair" comes from the same Latin source through Old French, so "repare" and "repair" are close cousins.
