Etymology
The origin of "obosi" is disputed among Romanian linguists. Unlike most core Romanian verbs, it cannot be traced with confidence to a Latin source, and dictionaries such as DEX often mark its etymology as uncertain. Some scholars propose a link to the pre-Roman Balkan substrate, the same layer thought to have given Romanian words like "brânză" and "mal", but no cognate has been established with enough certainty to state as fact. Given this uncertainty, no proto-root or cognate list is given here.
