Etymology
Urăsc is the first person singular present of the verb a urî, meaning to hate. The verb descends from Latin horrire (a variant of horrere), which meant to bristle or shudder with dread. Over time the sense narrowed from physical shuddering to strong aversion, giving Romanian its plain word for hate.
