Etymology
Miros is a noun formed from the verb a mirosi, to smell. The verb's origin is not settled. It does not come from Latin, which is unusual for such a basic everyday word in Romanian, and dictionaries typically mark its source as uncertain. Some scholars propose a link to the pre-Roman Balkan substrate, but no cognate is established with confidence.
