Etymology
Deosebit comes from the Romanian verb a deosebi, meaning to distinguish or tell apart. That verb combines the prefix de- with a root borrowed from Slavic, related to words for an individual or separate person. Over time the participle deosebit shifted from meaning simply set apart to meaning special or remarkable.
