Etymology
Ură comes from Latin ira, meaning wrath or anger. Over time the Romanian form narrowed in meaning from general anger to the deeper, more settled feeling of hatred, and the initial vowel shifted from i to u. The related verb urî (to hate) and adjective urât (ugly, unpleasant) come from the same root.
