Etymology
The origin of mișca is debated among Romanian etymologists. One proposal traces it to a hypothetical Vulgar Latin verb, muttiare, treated as a frequentative form related to movere, to move. A second proposal links it to a Slavic verb meaning to stir or mix. Because the evidence for either path is thin, standard Romanian dictionaries list the etymology as uncertain.
