Etymology
Gătit is the past participle of a găti, a verb borrowed from a South Slavic source related to gotoviti, meaning to make ready or prepare. The core sense of readiness split in two directions in Romanian: preparing food, which became the main modern meaning of a găti, and preparing or adorning oneself, an older reflexive use that survives mostly in regional or literary speech. As a participle, gătit doubles as an adjective describing something that has been cooked or, less often now, someone dressed up for an occasion.
