Etymology
Rănit is the past participle of the verb a răni, meaning to wound. That verb is built on the noun rană, meaning wound, which Romanian took from Slavic rather than Latin. Slavic loanwords like this one entered Romanian through centuries of contact with South Slavic speakers in the Balkans. The word now covers both physical wounds and hurt feelings, much like English wounded.
