"vatră" meaning in Romanian

See vatră in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Borrowed from Tosk Albanian vatër (definite form vatra), from Proto-Albanian *ōtar, obtained through the *o to *vo-/*va- development which is observed exclusively in the Albanian language as the diphthongization of *o in the two major dialect groups (cf. also vadhë, varfër, vesh, etc.). Borrowed also into Serbo-Croatian vatra (“fire”), Czech vatra, Polish Watra Some of the Slavic forms are explained as being borrowed from proto-Romanian or other Vlach languages, through semi-nomadic Aromanian shepherds. Compare Aromanian vatrã.
