Etymology
The origin of băga is not settled. It has no confirmed Latin source, which is unusual since most core Romanian verbs descend directly from Latin. Some Romanian dictionaries treat it as a native formation of obscure origin rather than a borrowing. Because the evidence is thin, no reliable cognate set can be given.
