frumoasăbeautiful (feminine form)Etymology
Frumos comes from Latin formosus, meaning shapely or well-formed, built from forma (shape, form) plus the adjectival suffix -osus (full of). The word passed into Romanian through normal sound change, with formosus becoming frumos over centuries of spoken use. The origin of Latin forma itself is disputed among scholars, so no further root is given here.
