Etymology
Drăguță is the feminine form of drăguț, built from drag, an old borrowing from Slavic meaning dear or precious, plus the diminutive suffix -uț/-uță. The diminutive softens the word, turning dear into something closer to cute or sweet. This kind of suffix is extremely productive in Romanian and shows up across nouns and adjectives alike.
