Etymology

Auzit is the past participle of the verb a auzi, meaning to hear. It descends from Latin audire, the same verb that gave French ouïr and Italian udire. Romanian kept this core verb from spoken Latin while most of Western Romance shifted toward other roots for everyday hearing vocabulary.
