moină
See also: moina
Romanian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Related to or derived from moale (plural moi), or from muia, with the suffix -ină. Other attempts have been made to link it to a derivative of Vulgar Latin *mollināre (cf. the verb moina), or from *mollimen, or *molliō, molliōnis, or to a lost early Romanian *moiu, from Latin root *mollius. One theory suggests a parallel with doină. A derivation from Slavic *močiti is improbable.[1]
Noun
[edit]moină f (plural moine)
- thaw (warmer, humid weather following the cold of winter; warmth of weather sufficient to melt that which is frozen)
- fallow (arable lend left uncultivated and unseeded for a year)
