Etymology

Unde comes straight from Latin unde, meaning "from where" or "whence". Romanian kept the word almost unchanged in form and sense, unlike some Romance languages that fused it with other particles. Latin unde itself goes back to an old interrogative and relative stem used to form place words like ubi and quo.
