Etymology

From a lost earlier form *suoară (compare Aromanian soarã, the cognate of the lost word), itself from Late Latin subāla, equivalent to Latin sub (“under”) + ala (“wing; armpit”); with the prefix sub- added later in (early) Romanian.

Compare also Aromanian sumsoarã, which underwent a similar evolution.
