scuzați-măexcuse me (set polite phrase)Etymology
Scuzat is the past participle of the verb a scuza, meaning to excuse. Romanian borrowed the verb from French excuser during the 19th-century wave of Latinate and French vocabulary that reshaped the language. The French word itself descends from Latin excusare, built from ex- (out, away) and causa (cause, legal charge), so the original sense was to release someone from a charge or accusation.
