Etymology

Gagică is Romanian slang, the feminine counterpart of gagiu. Both words entered urban Romanian speech from Romani, the language of the Roma, where a form like gadži denotes a non-Romani woman. The term spread through informal city speech during the 20th century and now works as a casual word for a girlfriend or young woman.
