Etymology

"Urc" is the first person singular present of the verb "a urca", meaning to climb or go up. Romanian dictionaries list the origin of "urca" as uncertain, with no securely established Latin or substrate source. Because the root is not firmly traced, no reliable deeper history can be given here.
