Etymology
Părăsit is the past participle of the verb a părăsi, meaning to abandon or to leave. The origin of a părăsi is not settled among Romanian etymologists, and dictionaries generally mark it as uncertain, with some pointing to old Slavic influence. Because the root is disputed, no reliable Indo-European root or direct cognate set can be given here.
