Etymology
The verb "a fuma" entered Romanian in the modern era as a borrowing from French "fumer", itself descended from Latin "fumare", built on "fumus" (smoke). Romanian attached its regular past-participle ending "-at" to the stem "fum-" to form "fumat". The same participle also serves as a neuter supine noun, "fumatul", meaning the act of smoking.
