Etymology
Fugi comes from the Latin verb fugere, meaning to flee or run away. Romanian inherited this verb directly from spoken Latin, and it kept its core meaning largely unchanged over two thousand years. The form fugi itself is the second person singular of the present tense, and it doubles as the informal imperative, so shouting Fugi! means Run!
