Etymology
Folosesc is the first-person singular present of a folosi, meaning to use. The verb comes from the noun folos, meaning use or benefit, which Romanian took from Slavic contact rather than from Latin. It follows Romanian's fourth-conjugation pattern, marked by the -esc infix in the forms where the ending carries the stress.
