Etymology
Vrăjitoare is built on the verb a vrăji, meaning to bewitch or cast a spell. Romanian dictionaries trace a vrăji to a Slavic source connected to divination and sorcery, part of the Slavic layer of vocabulary that entered Romanian in the early medieval period. The feminine agent suffix -toare was then added, turning the verb into she who casts spells.
