Etymology

The origin of "sosi" is not settled. Romanian dictionaries typically mark it as being of uncertain or disputed origin, with some scholars proposing a link to Ottoman Turkish administrative or trade vocabulary that entered Romanian during centuries of contact. No reliable Indo-European root has been established for it, since the word likely entered Romanian from a non-Indo-European source. It became the standard verb for arrival in modern Romanian.
