Uneori is a native Romanian compound, not a borrowing. It joins une, an old feminine plural form of the indefinite pronoun unul/una (one, some), with ori, the plural of oară (a time, an occurrence). Together they read literally as some times, which settled into the single adverb meaning sometimes. The same ori element builds a family of frequency adverbs in Romanian, such as adeseori (often) and arareori (rarely).
