scorbură

Romanian

Etymology

Ultimately from Latin scrobis through a Vulgar Latin form *scorbis after metathesis. The final result in Romanian may be explained through a root *scorbula or through a lost Romanian word *scorb and it's plural scorburi. Compare Aromanian scrob, cf. Italian scroba.

Noun

scorbură f (plural scorburi)

  1. a hollow (sunken area in something solid, such as in the trunk of a tree)
