acira

== Romanian == === Alternative forms === acera — Banat, regional === Etymology === Maybe from Vulgar Latin *accēnāre (“to wait until the evening”), originally meaning "to wait until the time of dinner". For the rhotacism of the intervocalic nasal, compare fereastră from Latin fenestra; however, this is uncommon in Romanian, especially without cause of dissimilation. Cf. also the related cină, which did not undergo rhotacism. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /a.t͡ʃiˈra/ Rhymes: -a Hyphenation: a‧ci‧ra === Verb === a acira (third-person singular present aciră, past participle acirat) 1st conjugation (regional) to await, to hope for (regional) to lurk, to lie in ambush ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Synonyms ==== aștepta, pândi
