Etymology

Mulțime is a native Romanian formation, not a direct borrowing. It combines mult, meaning much or many and inherited from Latin multus, with the suffix -ime, which Romanian uses to turn adjectives into collective or abstract nouns. The same pairing of root and suffix appears in words like tinerime, meaning the young people of a place, or boierime, meaning the nobility as a class.
