Etymology
Micuț is built from the Romanian adjective mic, meaning small, plus the diminutive suffix -uț. Mic itself is generally traced to Latin mica, a word for a crumb or small grain, which came to mean small in Vulgar Latin. The suffix -uț is a native Romanian diminutive ending, common in affectionate forms for children and small animals.
