Etymology
Bogat comes from Old Slavic bogatŭ, meaning rich or wealthy. That Slavic word is built on bogŭ, meaning god or good fortune, plus a suffix marking possession, so the underlying sense is roughly having divine favor or a good share. Romanian took the word from South Slavic languages during centuries of close contact in the medieval Balkans. The same Slavic root gives related words for rich across the Slavic language family.
