vinwineEtymology
Via is the definite form of the Romanian noun vie, which comes from Latin vinea, meaning vineyard. Vinea itself derives from vinum, the Latin word for wine. The shift from vie to via happens because Romanian attaches its definite article directly to the noun, and the final vowel group ie shifts to ia in this position.
