Alternative forms

• doară

Etymology

Probably from a reduction of the variant form doară, itself probably from Latin de hora. Alternative etymologies include a Vulgar Latin construction *de volat, alteration of de velit, or that it perhaps resulted from confusion with oare, with an interrogative function, or simply that it derives from a variant of dar (“but”).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /do̯ar/

Adverb

doar

1. just, only, merely

   Doar vreau niște lapte.
