Mulțumi is a native Romanian formation built on mult, meaning much or many, which descends from Latin multus. The verb likely grew out of an older sense close to making much of someone or being content with much, and settled into today's two linked meanings: thanking someone and being satisfied or pleased. This tie between abundance and gratitude is not unique to Romanian; many languages link the idea of thanks to notions of grace or worth.
