Etymology

Sângerez is the first-person singular present of a sângera, a verb built directly on the noun sânge (blood) with the verbal suffix -era. Sânge comes from Latin sanguis, in its stem form sanguin-. Romanian is not alone in turning the word for blood into a verb meaning to bleed; several other Romance languages did the same from the same Latin root.
