НА: crâşmă

[Kathryn Cassidy]

Thank you for your replies. I still have a bit of a query relating to the Romanian word crâşmă though. Whilst I understand that cârciumă is related, in some regions, crâşmă is used and not cârciumă. There are then various words derived from this and the village bar owner and his wife for example often be known as crâşmăr and crâşmăriţă. I'm trying to understand if this is just a regional derivation from cârciumă or whether the word has a different root entirely. All the etymological resources I have for Romanian are clear on the root for cârciumă but not crâşmă. Any further suggestions would be appreciated!

Someone asked about the "tavern" word Rus. корчма, Bulg. кръчма, Rom. cârciumă, and I deleted it. Yes, these are all related but their source is cloudy, some say they are related to the Cz krkati 'drink' , others to the German Krug 'stein'. In all these languages it is a pleasant place to be on a hot summer's day. Cheers!
