Ora is the Greek word for time too.
Ora=time
Orario=working hours
You can find the word in Homer and ancient texts.
In Greek mythology the Horae (pron.: /ˈhɔːriː/ or /ˈhɔːraɪ/) or Hours (Greek: Ὧραι, Hōrai, pronounced [hɔ̂ːraj], "seasons") were the goddesses of the seasons and the natural portions of time. They were originally the personifications of nature in its different seasonal aspects, but in later times they were regarded as goddessess of order in general and natural justice. "They bring and bestow ripeness, they come and go in accordance with the firm law of the periodicities of nature and of life", Karl Kerenyi observed: "Hora means 'the correct moment'." Traditionally, they guarded the gates of Olympus, promoted the fertility of the earth, and rallied the stars and constellations.

THE HORAI (or Horae) were the goddesses of the seasons and the natural portions of time. They presided over the revolutions of the heavenly constellations by which the year was measured, while their three sisters spinned out the web of fate. The Horai also guarded the gates of Olympos and rallied the stars and constellations of heaven.
The Horai were particularly honoured by farmers who planted and tended their crops in time with the rising and setting of the stars--measures of the passing seasons. The three were usually named Eunomia (Good Order, Good Pasture), Eirene (Peace, Spring), and Dike (Justice) goddesses who individually represented the conditions required for farming prosperity. The association of agriculture with law and order can also be found in the divinities of Zeus, Demeter and the Daimones Khryseoi.
Another set of Horai personified the twelve hours of the day:

In Ancient German the word for year is Jaera, Jahr in modern German, Year in English, Jaar in Dutch.

I guess one can not be 100% sure of anything but can't you see the striking similarity between the latin and romanian form !? Romanian is a latin language so the only logical conclusion would be that this word is of latin origin. I'm also quite sure that the albanian form is also of latin origin. You albanians go over the top with your illyrian heritage and authenticity.
