întrun

Întrun is a Romanian term used in formal and administrative language to denote the act or result of gathering people. It is most commonly encountered as the verb a întruni, meaning to bring together, convene, or assemble. The related noun întrunire designates the event itself—a meeting, assembly, or session. The word is used in political, legal, ecclesiastical, and organizational contexts to describe coordinated gatherings that aim to make decisions or coordinate actions.

Origin and related terms: The verb a întruni is derived from the broader notion of unire (to unite). In practice, întrunire and its variants appear in official texts and records to name assemblies, councils, and conferences. Synonyms include adunare, reuniune, and întâlnire, depending on nuance and formality. The term contrasts with concepts such as despărțire or dispersare, which imply separation rather than gathering.

Usage examples: O întrunire a comitetului a avut loc ieri. Întrunirea plenului a decis asupra proiectului. In many contexts, întrunire is used to refer to a scheduled or convened meeting, while adunare or reuniune may be preferred for less formal or larger-scale gatherings.
