Etymology

Either from Latin vapor, vaporem, (which may eventually have went through a hypothetical form *baporem before *baborem, leading to a *băoare in early Romanian and finally to its current form) or alternatively from Latin boreās ‎(“north wind”) (compare also bură). The latter etymology seems to fit the most common and modern sense, but the former may correspond more to the older meanings.^[1]
