Etymology
Seară comes from Latin sera, the feminine form of the adjective serus, meaning late. The phrase sera hora, late hour, was shortened over time until sera alone stood for the latter part of the day. Romanian kept this as a full noun, while other Romance languages built their own words for evening from the same root family.
