Word family
Etymology
Drăguț is built on drag, meaning dear or beloved, which Romanian borrowed from Old Slavic dragŭ. Adding the diminutive suffix -uț softens the word, turning dear into cute or nice. The same suffix appears in many Romanian diminutives, so drăguț reads almost like a gentler, smaller version of drag.
