desfira

Where it comes from

From des (“un-”) + fir (“thread”) + -a. Some Romanian etymological dictionaries list it as deriving from a local Vulgar Latin construction *disfīlāre (from dis- + fīlāre), but this is unlikely, as normally it would become *diffīlāre in Latin.

verb a desfira 1st conjugation · desfiră · desfirat · desfire · a desfira · desfirând
