Etymology
Urăsc is a conjugated form of the verb a urî, to hate. Romanian dictionaries trace it to Latin horrire, a variant of horrere, to bristle or shudder with fear, the same root behind English horror. The meaning shifted from physical shuddering and dread toward settled hostility. The link between revulsion and hatred survives in Romanian urât, from the same verb, which means both ugly and hated.
