Etymology
Romanian borrowed "amuzant" from French "amusant", the present participle of the verb "amuser", meaning to amuse. French "amuser" itself comes from Old French "a-" (to, toward) plus "muser" (to stare, loiter, waste time), a verb tied to the noun "muse" for snout or muzzle, evoking an animal sniffing around aimlessly. The word entered Romanian in the nineteenth century as part of a large wave of French vocabulary that reshaped the modern literary language.
