Etymology

Pescuit is the past participle and action noun of the verb a pescui, meaning to fish. That verb comes from Latin piscari, itself built on piscis, meaning fish. Romanian kept this Latin fish family almost intact, unlike most of its neighbors, so pește, pescar, and pescuit all trace back to the same Latin root.
