Etymology
Mirosi is the verb built from the Romanian noun miros, meaning smell or scent, with the addition of the verbal ending -i. Romanian dictionaries link miros to South Slavic words for scent, such as Bulgarian and Serbian miris, though the deeper root is not firmly settled. The verb follows the fourth conjugation pattern for Romanian verbs ending in -i.
