Etymology
Trecere is a noun built directly from the verb a trece, meaning to pass or cross, by adding the suffix -re. A trece descends from Latin traicere, a compound of trans (across) and iacere (to throw), which originally meant to throw or carry across. Romanian kept this verb as its everyday word for passing, and the deverbal noun trecere simply names the act it describes.
