Etymology
Uși is the plural of ușă, the ordinary Romanian word for door. Ușă comes from Latin ostium, meaning entrance or mouth of a passage, by way of a popular Latin variant ustium. Romanian kept this old Latin word for door, while languages like French and Spanish mostly replaced it with words from porta.
