Etymology
Bogat entered Romanian from Old Church Slavonic bogatŭ, meaning rich or wealthy. The Slavic word traces back to bogŭ, a root tied to good fortune and divine favor, which also gave Slavic languages their word for god. Romanian absorbed many such Slavic terms during centuries of close contact in the medieval period, and bogat became the everyday word for rich, standing alongside native Latin vocabulary.
