întâmpla

Etymology
. Probably from a or, itself possibly from  (whence ultimately English  through a derivative verb ). To the augurs of ancient Rome, the flight of a bird that entered the templum was said to mean something was about to happen, and perhaps the Romanian term's sense derives from this, although it is uncertain. Alternatively, and perhaps more likely, the word derives instead from a diminutive of Latin (cf. the etymology of the derivative ), with the sense coming from "that which is produced by time", thus "that which happens or occurs".

Verb

 * 1)  to happen, occur
