Etymology

From a Vulgar Latin *infebrizō or later Balkan Romance equivalent, derived from Latin febris. Cognate to Aromanian nhiuredz, nhiurari. The -ez type conjugation is likely the older variant due to the pronunciation of "io" in the root, as this pronunciation is an outcome of the intonation falling elsewhere (on the -ez); this is also evidenced by the Aromanian form.
