Etymology
Romanian "vers" comes from Latin "versus", meaning a line of writing or a turn of the plow. The Latin word derives from "vertere", to turn, since a line of verse was seen as a turn back to the start of the next line. The word entered Romanian through direct Latin inheritance and later literary borrowing from French, reinforcing its use in poetic contexts.
