februārie

1. vocative masculine singular of februārius

• fevruarie — archaic
• februar — dated or poetic

Borrowed from Latin (mensis) februārius (19th century), and influenced by the older form of the word. Replaced older fevruarie which came from the same word but through a Slavic intermediary. The original term inherited from Latin, făurar, remains a folk term for the month.
