Etymology

Frumusețe comes from Latin. The Romanian adjective frumos, meaning beautiful, descends from Latin formosus, well-shaped or handsome. Frumusețe is the matching abstract noun, inherited from a Latin form built on the same root with the noun-forming suffix -itia, which is why it keeps the older u-vowel instead of following frumos exactly. The source of Latin forma itself is disputed among specialists, so no further root is given here.
