Etymology
Știre comes from the Romanian verb a ști, meaning to know, which traces back to Latin scire, to know. The suffix -re turns the verb into a feminine noun naming the result of the act, so știre literally means something known. Over time the word narrowed from a general knowing to the specific sense of a reported fact or news item.
