Urmărit is the past participle of a urmări, meaning to follow, pursue, watch, or monitor. The verb is built from the noun urmă, meaning track, footprint, or trace, plus the verbal suffix -i, so its core sense is close to following someone's tracks. The deeper origin of urmă is disputed among Romanian etymologists, so no reliable Proto-Indo-European root can be given here.
