Etymology
"Urce" is the third-person present subjunctive of the verb "a urca", meaning to climb, go up, or rise. Romanian dictionaries treat the origin of "a urca" as uncertain, with Latin and pre-Roman substrate origins both proposed and no consensus reached. Because the root is disputed, no reliable Proto-Indo-European form can be given here.
