Etymology
Retragere is formed from the verb a retrage plus the noun-forming suffix -re, which turns a verb into an action noun, much like English -al in "withdrawal." A retrage itself comes from Latin retrahere, built from re- (back) and trahere (to pull, draw). The word entered Romanian as part of the core Latin-derived vocabulary rather than as a later borrowing.
