Etymology
Jefuit is the past participle of the verb a jefui, meaning to rob or plunder by force. Romanian dictionaries generally trace the verb to a borrowing absorbed during long contact with Hungarian in Transylvania, alongside the related noun jaf, robbery. The exact source form is disputed among etymologists, so no firm root can be given.
