ON THE ROMANIAN TERM P DURE Ana-Maria BOTNARU ??Spiru Haret ? University Bucharest Abstract In this article we write the linguistic monograph of the generic term around which the Romanian forest terminology is built Starting from the lexicographic de ?nition and from the etymology we draw a comparison with similar words in other neo-Latin languages resulting in some interesting historical conclusions We mention important geographical and hydrographic terms containing the idea of forest in their age-old names which is very suggestive from historical linguistic and spiritual point of view We illustrate the ??lexical e ?ciency ? of the term as well as its ??echoes ? in toponymy hydronymy and anthroponymy Key words forest etymology toponyms anthroponyms Latin language Résumé Dans cet article nous traçons une esquisse de la monographie linguistique du terme générique autour duquel se construit la terminologie roumaine de la forêt En commençant par la dé ?nition lexicographique et par l ? étymologie nous les comparons avec l ? étymologie des termes équivalents des autres langues néolatines tirant ainsi des conclusions très intéressantes d ? ordre historique Nous évoquons des termes géographiques et hydrographiques importants qui contiennent dans leurs racines anciennes l ? idée de forêt fait révélateur du point de vue historique linguistique et spirituel Nous illustrons l ? e ?cience lexicale ? du terme ainsi que ses échos dans la toponymie hydronymie et anthroponymie Mots-clés forêt étimologie toponymes anthroponymes langue latine The Romanian word p ?dure forest wood appears in most dictionaries along with the following de ?nition p ?dure s f pl p ?duri ??large land area covered with trees the group of trees growing in a tight dependence on this area trees which belong to this group together with numerous plant species moss mushrooms herbs shrubs and wild animals living here ? Cf DLR VIII p COn the Romanian Term P ?dure In Romanian p ?dure is inherited from Vulgar Latin ?? the form pad lem is obtained through metathesis from Classical Latin ?? palus - dem which meant ??swamp ? Important linguists convincingly explain the evolution of the meaning covered with thick vegetation ?? reed and rush ?? the swamps of the past seen from a distance looked like forests A similar situation as far as the evolution of the meaning is concerned can be found in the Albanian language which proves that the term belongs to the Balkan Latin In other Neo-Latin languages e g the French term forêt the Italian term foresta the Spanish term forestales the Portuguese term oresta the word for ? forest ? comes from another Latin word silva forestis which in its turn is thought to come from Classical Latin ?? forum There is a fundamental distinction between pad lem and forestis namely ?? - human intervention ? pad lem is a rich thick wild forest impossible to cross especially if one does not know it or unless someone shows you the way ?? cf Sextil Pu cariu while silva forestis is ??managed ? and attended to
