Etymology
Mișto entered Romanian from Romani, where a related form means good or well. It spread through urban slang in the twentieth century and is now a fixture of everyday colloquial speech across Romania. It stays invariable, taking no endings for gender, number, or case, which marks it as a fairly recent borrowing rather than an old native adjective.
