Norocoș is built from the Romanian noun noroc, meaning luck or fortune, plus the adjective-forming suffix -os. Noroc itself entered Romanian from a Slavic source related to the idea of an allotted time or fate. The suffix -os, cognate with Latin -osus, turns a noun into an adjective meaning full of or characterized by that thing.
