Etymology
Urez is the first-person singular present of a ura, a verb meaning to offer someone good wishes, used for birthdays, holidays, and formal greetings. It is a separate word from a urî, to hate, despite the near-identical spelling of their roots. Romanian dictionaries do not agree on a single confirmed source for a ura, so no exact deeper root can be given here without risking a fabricated claim.
