Etymology
Gunoi entered Romanian from a Slavic source, related to Old Church Slavonic and Common Slavic gnojь, meaning dung or manure. The word reflects the heavy Slavic influence on Romanian's everyday and agricultural vocabulary. Its original sense centered on animal manure used to fertilize fields, and it later broadened to cover household waste and garbage in general.
