Haios comes from the Romanian noun haz, meaning fun or amusement, plus the adjectival suffix -ios, which means full of or having the quality of. Haz itself entered Romanian from Turkish haz, meaning pleasure or delight. So haios literally means full of fun, and it settled into everyday speech as the standard word for funny.
