Etymology
The verb "a vorbi" comes from the Romanian noun "vorbă" (word, speech). The origin of "vorbă" itself is not settled among scholars; Romanian dictionaries generally list it as of uncertain, likely Slavic, origin rather than tracing it to Latin. "Vorbiți" is simply the second person plural present form of that verb, built by adding the standard fourth-conjugation ending to the stem "vorb-".
