Etymology
Șir entered Romanian from a Slavic source, related to Old Church Slavonic and Bulgarian širъ, meaning wide or broad. Over time its sense narrowed from breadth or expanse to a line of things arranged one after another. It belongs to the large layer of Slavic loanwords absorbed into Romanian during the medieval period.
