harului

Harului is the genitive/dative form of the Romanian noun harul, which denotes grace, blessing, or mercy granted by a divine source. In religious and literary Romanian, har refers to a benevolent influence or favor believed to come from God. The form harului appears in constructions such as din harului lui Dumnezeu (from the grace of God) or datorită harului său (thanks to his grace). As a grammatical form, it functions in phrases that express possession, dependence, or source.

In usage, harul is most commonly found in religious texts, liturgy, prayers, and devotional writing, as well as in poetry and formal prose. Outside of religious contexts, the word har may be encountered in older or more literary Romanian, but harul and its inflected form harului remain strongly associated with spiritual or moral notions of divine assistance.

Etymologically, harul is a stable element of Romanian religious vocabulary with roots in medieval Romanian ecclesiastical language. It has cognates in other Romance and regional languages through the shared concept of grace or favor, though the exact historical development within Romanian reflects its unique linguistic evolution.

Notes: Harului is not a standalone common noun in everyday speech; it is primarily a grammatical form used to reference grace or blessings in relation to God or a divine source.
