Etymology
Grăbit is the past participle of the verb a grăbi, meaning to hurry or hasten, used as an adjective. The verb is built on the noun grabă, meaning haste, which Romanian borrowed from Slavic. This is a common pattern in Romanian, where a Slavic root was absorbed into the native Latin-based grammar and given a Latin-style participle ending.
