Etymology
Supărare is the action noun built from the verb a supăra, "to upset, annoy, or sadden." Romanian etymological dictionaries trace a supăra to Latin superare, "to overcome, surpass, defeat." The meaning narrowed over time from being overcome or overwhelmed to being emotionally troubled or hurt.
