Etymology
Spargere is the deverbal noun of the verb a sparge, formed with the native suffix -ere that turns a verb into an action noun. A sparge itself comes from Latin spargere, which meant to scatter or sprinkle. Romanian narrowed that sense over time to breaking or shattering, so the modern word describes what happens when scattered force meets an object rather than the old idea of strewing something loosely.
