Etymology
This is a regional pronunciation of standard Romanian nostru, our, found in northern Transylvanian and Maramureș speech, where s often shifts to ș before a consonant. The underlying word descends from Latin noster, itself built from the oblique stem of the pronoun we plus an adjectival suffix. The Latin form spread across the Romance languages largely unchanged in meaning.
