Etymology
Slăbit is the past participle of the verb a slăbi, meaning to weaken or to lose weight. That verb was formed from the adjective slab, weak or thin, using the native verb-forming suffix -i. Slab itself entered Romanian from Common Slavic, part of the large layer of Slavic vocabulary absorbed into the language over centuries despite its Latin grammatical base. The participial ending -it comes from Latin -itus.
