Etymology

The masculine form "ușor" is the base word, and "ușoară" is its feminine singular agreement form. Romanian dictionaries mark the deeper origin of "ușor" as uncertain: it is not cleanly traced back to a Latin source, and some scholars suspect a pre-Roman substrate word behind it. Because the trail goes cold, no confident root or cognate set can be given.
