Etymology
Scrisoare comes from Latin scriptoria, a form tied to scriptorius, meaning something related to writing. It is built on the same base as the verb a scrie, to write, which descends from Latin scribere. Over time the Latin form settled into the Romanian noun for a written message sent to another person.
