Etymology
"Sar" is a present-tense form of the verb "a sări," to jump or leap. It descends from Latin "salire," which meant the same thing. Romanian kept the core physical meaning largely intact, while some sibling Romance languages shifted the sense over time, such as Italian "salire," which now means to climb or go up.
