Etymology
Sânge comes from Latin sanguis, sanguinem, the standard Latin word for blood. Romanian kept the word through the normal chain of sound changes from spoken Latin, unlike some other Romance languages that show more divergence. The origin of Latin sanguis itself is disputed among scholars, so no secure Indo-European root is given here.
