Etymology
"Oprit" is the past participle of the verb "a opri", meaning to stop or halt. Romanian dictionaries trace "a opri" to a Slavic source, generally cited as Old Slavic "oprěti". The participle itself is built the ordinary Romanian way, by adding the Latin-derived past-participle ending "-t" to the verb stem.
