Etymology
Folosește is the third-person singular present of the verb a folosi, to use. The verb was built from the noun folos, meaning use or benefit, which Romanian borrowed from Old Church Slavonic polьza during centuries of contact with Slavic-speaking neighbors. The -ește ending marks the third-person singular present in a large class of Romanian verbs derived from nouns, the same pattern seen in a citi giving citește and a iubi giving iubește.
