Etymology
Șapte comes from Latin septem, the same root that gave English "seven" and "September." The Latin numeral descends from a very old Indo-European word for the number seven, preserved with little change across most of the family. Romanian kept the initial consonant cluster softened into "ș," a regular sound shift from Latin s before certain vowels.
