Măritat is the past participle of the reflexive verb a se mărita, which means for a woman to get married. It comes from Latin maritare, to give in marriage, itself built on maritus, meaning husband. Romanian kept the word specifically for women marrying, while a se însura, from uxor-related roots, covers men.
