orație

Romanian

Alternative forms

  • orațiune

Etymology

Borrowed from Latin oratio, possibly through a Polish intermediate oracja (first appears 18th century). Compare the Aromanian urãciuni, which is probably inherited (see also the now rare Romanian urăciune, which may be from the same source or may also be an internal derivation from ura).

Noun

orație f (plural orații)

  1. epithalamium, nuptial poem
  2. (archaic) oration
