Etymology
Mulțumesc is the first-person singular present of the verb a mulțumi, built on mult, the Romanian word for much, which descends from Latin multus. The verb originally meant to content or satisfy someone, and over time its meaning narrowed to the act of giving thanks. This makes Romanian unusual among Romance languages: French merci, Italian grazie, and Spanish gracias all trace back to Latin words for grace or mercy, while Romanian built its thank-you word from a native root meaning much.
