supăra

Romanian

Etymology

Inherited from Latin superāre (surpass, exceed; overflow). The meaning in the Romanian arose from the idea of exceeding or going beyond what can be taken or tolerated. Compare Aromanian shupãr, shupãrari, meaning "to ridicule, make fun of". Compare also the semantic development of French outrer (to exaggerate, outrage), from outre (as well as; besides; on top of).
