Etymology
Trădare is the noun formed from the verb a trăda, to betray, using the productive suffix -are that turns verbs into action nouns. A trăda comes from Latin tradere, to hand over or surrender, itself built from trans- (across) and dare (to give). The sense shifted from a neutral act of handing something over to the negative act of handing over trust, a secret, or a country to an enemy.
