I ask myself if this is related to latin because the stem seems to be
the same.

Yes, so I learned. The "viitor" is made with the word "veni"= to come
+ suffix " -tor". Somewhere should have been the word *venitor and
from this one should be the actual "viitor" . I am as usual ( mybe
unright) sceptically regarding this derivation even if there is no
latin word in this, but the romanian " a veni" where from
the "viitor" should derivate. This is why I asked.
The "ii" from "viitor" can come from an vowel and /v/=/f/. In so far
futuru(s)= vItoru(l) but this must first should veryfied as a viable
relationship, fact about I doubt since it seems in the last time I
make just wrong connections ( see last thing about varza).
