Etymology
Romanian dictionaries list the origin of "buzna" as unknown. The word survives almost only inside the fixed phrase "a da buzna" (literally "to give buzna"), meaning to enter somewhere suddenly and without warning. No credible link to Latin has been established, and no verified source language has been confirmed.
