zidayEtymology
Ziar is a native Romanian formation built on zi, meaning day, which descends from Latin dies. The suffix -ar attaches to mark something tied to a recurring unit, giving the sense of a daily sheet, much as jurnal was built on the French word for day. The word entered common use in the 19th century as the Romanian press developed.
